Overview
A fabric covered folder bound with dark red leather. Fabric is a pink and cream floral design. On the inside of the folder are two labels. One, presumably the brand, reads: "STAFLAT Trade mark" and has a picture of a duck saying "Ah! Ah! Opens flatter than my feet!". The second label, presumably the retailers, reads "Dante Gambinossi, New York, 538 Madison Ave". This folder stored 57 wallpaper and other designs, most by Betty Lewis Isaacs, but alsoincluding a small amount of ephemera, such as cards given to Betty by others.
