The Netherlands and Belgium, various manufacturers, ca. 1930-1950. Five complete rolls in their original wrappers (height 10.5-12.0 cm, diameter 10.5-12.0 cm). Preserved in early 20th-century clamshell box, entirely covered with German and Austrian bank notes (31 x 23 x 21 cm).

The perhaps most ephemeral papers. The following are included: 1. Frisia. Geperforeerd closet-papier. Prima kwaliteit. Voordeelig in het gebruik. Vrij van schadelijke bestanddelen. Nederlans fabrikaat. 2. Prima hygiënisch crêpe closetpapier. Nederlands fabrikaat. 3. E. S. A. Doux - Soluble - Solide. Zacht - Oplosbaar - Sterk. 4. Cora. Extra zacht toiletpapier. "Cora" is the only brand with an address on the wrapper, viz., Corn[elis] de Haan, Amsteldijk 139, Amsterdam. 5. Edet Made in Sweden. Zo zacht als zijde! Although having the smallest diameter (1.5 cm less than the next), it claims being "the rol met het grootste aantal vellen!" [the roll with the highest number of leaves]. The name of number 1 suggests it was made in Friesland, a province in the north of the Netherlands. Number 4, the "Cora" paper is the only one illustrated, and it even gives the name of the artist, being the Dutch illustrator and author of children's books, Piet [Hendrik Louis] Gertenaar (1911-2006). It can be dated as from after 1941. Oddly, a toilet paper brand Cora still exists in Belgium. Paper somewhat toned, otherwise very good. All are rare, if not, by now, unique.
