yeah I saw online they've been around from 1779 to 1944. But what makes me curious is the packaging notes two awards won from 1873 and 1878 so i can only assume it is post 1878 and pre 1944... Also, yeah it's not in bad condition, I did however fix the bottom left corner in photoshop

Antique Questions Forum / Old Paper - Alex Cowan & Sons - Help identify Year?

« on: August 08, 2011, 08:24:43 am »

Hi I recently came across a pack of old paper...
it's about the size of an unbound small novel. The pages are all blank and there is a watermark with "Alex Cowan & Sons" There was also partial packaging with this paper and i've attached the image of the packaging. I can't seem to find any information on Alex Cowan and Sons making blank paper... anyone have any idea how old these pages might be?

thanks in advance
Andy
