BHSM Board Chair Martha McCoy found this in her Dad’s “cave” and donated it to the museum. Called “The Little Webster” circa 1925-1935. It was a novelty sold at tourist spots like the Statue of Liberty of Niagara Falls. Leather bound with 18,000 words in it, with a snap to close it up. The diminutive book is less than 3 inches long.
Please visit us at the Blythewood Historical Society and Museum Tues-Thursday 9am-4pm to see this and our many other exhibits.
