Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String! And dispensed by Time’s Tin Cup !
Before the binder clip, paper clip, glue and tape, brown paper packages were tied up with string! Balls of string were a tool of the household. Pieces were saved, tied together and reused to save a penny. String dispensers were common in homes and businesses. As a common item, string dispensers became more decorative with novelty versions case in whimsical faces and animal shapes.
This adorable kitty is by the Holt Howard Company who was known for their cartoonesque ceramics.
Fun to collect and makes a great conversation piece. #cats
