| | | | The picture shows a view of this Old Blue Coal Advertising Ink Pen Blotter. The blotter is not dated but believed to be from the 1920s. Blue Coal was a major sponsor of the Radio Show The Shadow between 1932 and 1949. Because of no mention of The Shadow and the candle stick telephone this blotter is believed to be prior to that sponsorship. It is marked as follows: Always Say 'Blue Coal'
