ARTIFACT: This is a rare circa 1920s or 1930s racist memorabilia "white" alligator letter opener with a "black" man note pencil. The note pencil sits inside the letter opener to make it appear that the alligator has eaten all but the head of the man. It is in celluloid, and it is hard to find one of these in this condition.

SIZE: Approximately 5-3/8" by 1"; pencil alone is 2-1/2" in length.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Celluloid, wood.

ATTACHMENT: Pencil fits inside mouth of alligator.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a black Americana collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VCEX12 LADEX11/12 SAJJX3/13

CONDITION: 8- (Very Fine-Excellent): It is hard to find this item in such good condition.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
