Description: This is an Old (rare) Airmail
Label Dispenser, with the Airmail Labels (etiquettes) still within. The
manufacturer called it "Handy Roll", made in Oakland California from tin.
The tin dispenser has a paper label affixed (not painted). It is impossible without opening the
artifact to know how many labels remain inside the tin dispenser. The labels are
gummed for easy use to attach to airmail envelopes. I consider this to be a
great find for my collection of Airmail Etiquettes.
