Description A wooden display/storage cabinet for Carter's Midnight Blue Carbon Paper from The Carter's Ink Co. It is about chest-high and looks similar to a small dresser. One side has narrow drawers for holding the packs of carbon paper that were for sale. The other side of the case slants down and has an ad for the Midnight Blue Carbon Paper. The ad shows a woman in a blue dress (possibly from the 1940's) who is at a typewriter, using the carbon paper. I do not have a photo or know the dimension. I have an opportunity to buy this and would like to know its value.
