Looks like it was used to clean up after the dog ? Who would buy this ? http://cgi.ebay.com/1935-1-00-DOLLA...3QQihZ021QQcategoryZ40031QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Looks like it was carried in a brown wallet as a keepsake. If it were a short snorter it would be worthwhile.
What is a Short Snorter ? There may be as many explanations as there are Short Snorters. Briefly, it is a piece of paper money, signed by friends and comrades, usually upon leaving a particular combat posting. In some cases, several signed bills are taped end-to-end. I've read that Marine Corps pilots in the Pacific and 15th Air Force airmen in Italy lay claim to creating the idea, but its origin is uncertain. It might even date back to the First World War or before. Some descriptions suggest they were used as part of a drinking ritual -- the flyer in a bar with the fewest signatures bought the round. Whatever the case, they are a special part of our historical record.
They were usually used as part of a drinking ritual, often the person who failed to bring his short snorter to the bar would have to buy a round for everybody who had brought his.
Mine isnt on Ebay but it might be even worse. My Grandfather gave it ot me so its special in its own way.
