Vintage Old Town Ribbon & Carbon Co. Underwood Typewriter Ribbon Tin! Brooklyn Bridge!
|
Up for auction is a Vintage Old Town “Underwood” Typewriter Ribbon Advertising Tin! This vintage tin was made by the Old Town Ribbon & Carbon Co., Inc. in Brooklyn, New York back in the 1930s or 1940s! This is a rare typewriter ribbon tin with metal top and bottom sections measuring about 2½” square x ¾” tall. The tin has nice bright multi-color lithography advertising graphics in dark navy blue, gold, and red. The tin features the Brooklyn Bridge on its front and is marked “Underwood Black Record Elite #11 Inking” on the bottom. As shown in the photos, the tin is in very good condition for its age with nice bright colors and sharp lithography. There are a few small marks, scuffs or scratches, and some dents or dings typical for a container this old. The top and bottom fit together well, and the interior is pretty clean. This vintage Old Town typewriter ribbon advertising tin would make a great addition to your collection!
