Summary
Several thousand clippings of trade-marks, labels, etc., from magazines and newspapers, labels etc. Many are quite small and very few have dates and sources noted on the reverse side. Most appear to have been clipped in the 1920-1940 period. They were classified by the collector on the basis of the insignia, symbol or design of the trademark (not the product or organization which it represents). Divided into 8 series: (1) Trademarks: Living Things; (2) Trademarks: Objects; (3) Trademarks: Symbols; (4) Trademarks: Business and Organizations; (5) Trademarks: Other Trademark Material; (6) Trademarks: Labels; (7) Trademarks: Publications; (8) Patent Office Gazette Material, etc.
