DescriptionBlue and white printed paper card with holes for twelve metalic snaps; only one snap remains on the card. One side of the card is printed with a castle in gold, atop a hill covered with trees in blue and dark green. Clouds and rays of light surround the castle. Printed in the trees in gold is, "OAKVILLE COMPANY/ DIVISION". Below that, printed in a circle around a flower, is, "SCOVILLE MANUFACTURING CO. WATERBURY CONN." To the left of the circle is printed, "REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." and to the right is printed, "MADE IN U.S.A." The bottom of the card is printed in blue ink, "ONE DOZEN SIZE 1/0/ ELDORADO/ SNAP FASTENERS/ RUSTPROOF/ MADE/ IN U.S.A."

The reverse of the card is printed in blue with a ruler on the right edge, and the different snap sizes across the bottom.

NotesSubject Note: The image of the castle closely resembles Castle Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, Germany. (Hudson 3/20/2007)
