Victory Morning Paper WWII Toilet Paper 1943This vintage WWII novelty roll of toilet paper with original mailing wrapper pokes fun at Hitler, Hirohito, and Mussolini (Wipe out the AXIS!), based on the little bit we unrolled. The partial roll of tissue paper on a cardboard tube measures 4-1/2 inches wide. Printed on one of the first sheets of paper is "Second Edition, Copyright 1943, Randolph Novelty Co., Chicago, Ill.". The original wrapper measures 7-1/4 by 7-1/2 inches and is marked "Extra! Extra!, Here Is Your Victory Morning Paper, For laughing purposes only, Be An All American, Buy More Bonds, A Product of Randolph Novelty Co., Chicago.". There is also a place for an address and stamp for mail.

All print medium are ripe for making political and cultural. Perhaps it's not a coincedence that cartooning and toilet paper evolved at roughly the same time period. We hope to show you more examples of this in the coming months.
Where you find toilet paper, you are bound to find toilet paper holders too. "U.C.& P.Co. Boston, Mass. Pat'd July 17 1877 & Sept 25, 1883" is printed on this unique item. It also has a built in paper cutter. (Which tells you that serrated paper was not yet in fashion.)
Good condition.

They recently also had 1930's Lighted Glass RESTROOM Signs, so you just never know ...
This is an add on oil filter for early cars and trucks. You would unscrew the top and place a cheap (thick sheeted) roll of toilet paper in the aluminum canister as the filter. You could change your filter for pennies. It is a very thick casting, nice and heavy. On the top is stamped "PRODUCT OF TRIPLE R MFG"

These are obviously different makers, but they're almost like before and after shots.
Frantz toilet paper oil filtration unit. -
Undisputed as being the BEST oil fiter that money could buy in the 60's and 70's,it was simple and easy to use because the filter was a simple roll of toilet paper.The problem these days is to find a roll that will fit the houseing......American rolls were changed a while back and made longer(a conspiracy?! You decide!). Visit the Autohaus to see what other cool items they have. Don't miss their pedal car collection.
Brass Toilet paper Holder ... Patented Dec 22, 1885...What is VERY interesting about this is that it reads "Leased From Scott Paper Co. Limited Philadelphia Penna ... On the Back there is the remnants of a paper instruction sheet (installation instruction?) ... On its side there is a glass window, presumably to see how much paper is left... The round knob would distribute the paper. It looks to have held small rolls.

Please note that Jason does not know the actual age of this, but has done some research that might support his theory.
As printed on the packaging:
Victoria Single Fold Toilet Tissue
Made in U.S.A.
Victoria Single Fold

41⁄2 x 5
"This tissue has qualities which make it especially suitable for use in
hospitals, hotels, apartments, office buildings, industrial plantes, etc. It
is soft and strong, yet readily absorbent and dissolvent."
Mfg by
The Victoria Paper Bills Co.
Fulton, N. Y.
Jason further describes it as "The paper edges are yellowed (more so than the pictures show.) The wrapper is a bit beat all along the edges, as you can see, but remains intact. Definitely has a similar smell as some 100 year old books I found in an attic. According to a website I found when researching The Victoria Paper Mills Co, the plant at which these were apparently made produced toilet tissues from 1880 until a few years later when they switched to heavy manilla paper! I personally find it hard to believe that I've found myself in the possesion of 125 year old toilet paper, but I'm not finding anything to contradict that conclusion."
