There is a wonderful item currently on sale at eBay. It’s blotter advertising Dubble Bubble Gum. Dubble Bubble Gum was invented by an accountant in 1928 so the blotter is probably from the 1930s. Check out the Uncle Sam drawing.
The bubble gum rights are now with the Tootsie Roll Brand.
The blotter gives the history of Uncle Sam – it was a joke – what do the US initials on a stamp stand for? Well Uncle Sam of Course. All we know is he has a great top hat. I have a wonderful felt hat with American decorations on it that I wear to parades. I’ll share a picture of it with you sometime.
