I found this 8" diameter cardboard fan from 1912. It was glued in a scrapbook which I tried to carefully remove to read the back.

Thank you. I'm going to try a few more pages, all 1900s telephone related.

Oh wow, so was this from an early Bell employee? Usually in this line of collecting it is difficult to have any provenance come with things. Sounds like you have an excellent primary source on your hands.

It looks like it's from a historical society member as far as I can tell right now.
