Description
Paper: K&E Albanene [trademark tracing paper] graph sheets, 46 1517. 10 x 10 to the centimeter. Made and sold by Keuffel & Esser Co., [Hoboken], no date, circa 1956-1966. Transparent Albanene tracing paper printed in orange, 8-1/2" x 11" high, five hole punched on long side. Ten each.
Albanene was a line of durable transparent prepared tracing paper created by K&E. Circa 1956-1962, K&E re-numbered its product line. This item was formerly numbered 359T-14 as seen on page 65 of the 42nd edition catalog of 1954. When re-numbered is unknown at present. See objects 2009.006.0241 for this item with the 359T-14 product number. This same pattern was available on other papers and different colors in metric measurements as well as standard U.S. measure.
K&E main office and factories were in Hoboken during the period this item was made, but it is possible that this was made, stock and shipped from a subsidiary company located outside of Hoboken.
