What a wonderful small version of this Whale Tail shaped tape dispenser. I just love this old cast iron ones because they don't move when you need a piece of tape! Made by Minnesota Mining & Mfg. and made in the 50's but could have been in the 40's. This one measures about 5 1/2" long by about 2 1/4" wide and about 2 1/2" tall. It's got a chocolate brown red brickish type paint that is chippy is some parts with white paint dots (probably from correction fluid!). The bottom is solid and has 4 rubber feet. I do not know if those are original to the piece but was found like that. The cutting mechanism is a little rusty and a little loose. It isn't as sharp and needs a thumb to push down on the top in order to cut the tape. Just need a little pressure! There is some scratching and marring on this as it is vintage and has had a previous life in some office. The white plastic spool came with this but I do not think it's original to the piece either. It comes with the roll of tape in the photos. This would make that finishing touch to your vintage office! I have a lot more photos of this.
