A Revolving Card, or Ticket, Holder
A holder which may be ornamented and trimmed with leather or other materials, was made of several disks of wood, joined at the center by a thumbscrew, and provided a neat place for calling cards, post cards, etc. The block A, which fits against the wall, is ³⁄₈ in. thick and 2 in. in diameter. The disk C is ¹⁄₄ by 7 in., the disk D, 6 in., and the metal disk E, 6 in. in diameter. The edge of the metal disk, which may be of ornamented or etched brass, or copper, is curled forward as shown. The thumbscrew B holds the disks together and fastens them to the wall.—James E. Noble, Portsmouth, Ontario, Can.
