1890s Celluloid Manufacturing Company Card Printed on Celluloid.

Developed in the mid-19th century, celluloid came into its own as a 
manufacturing material in the 1870s, providing a useful substitute for 
ivory and horn. The Celluloid Manufacturing Company was founded by John 
Wesley Hyatt, one inventor of the product, who spent a certain amount of 
time embroiled in legal disputes with other inventors of the product. 
Baldwin & Gleason made a specialty of printing celluloid trade cards and 
other celluloid novelties, but a card for the Celluloid Company itself 
on celluloid is kinda neat.

4.75”x3”. A bit ‘rumpled’, minor wear, light soil.  [43359]  $85
