Description

I have an antique children's life preserver, I'm guessing its from the 1920's or 1930's. It is made by the Airubber Corporation in Chicago, IL, and is called "The Torpedo Float." There are pictures on the front with children swimming and text describing how to use the preserver to learn how to swim. It has that very vintage nautical look! I am looking to find out more information about this, and its potential value. Thanks!
