What a unique piece! In this lot is a 1918 No. 5 cast iron tape dispenser. These dispensers were used with a paper tape that has dried glue on the back that had to be run over a wet sponge to activate the glue. They could hold a very large roll of 3" wide tape and were mostly used in large companies. The thing that makes this dispenser so special is it still has a large roll of tape that says "Genuine Ford Parts" logo on it. The measurements of the dispenser are 10" X 9 1/2" X 4 3/4", the roll of tape is 3" wide and shows approximately an 1 1/2" with of tape still on the roll. This item is in good working order with some rust given the nature of its use.
