Re: 1905 Fosters Snowflake Float.
This is the Wadham snowflake from the 1913 catalogue.
He was making celluloid floats for other people before this date.
It does not even register 1 gramme on my scales.

I know, but not as rare as the 1914 supplement or the submarine furniture catalogue he invented.
I have a few others as well but its just a question of sorting them out and finding them.

I know you have been researching the family Stefan. I look forward to your next publication with much anticipation. Will you put something more on the blog about them in time?

Re: 1905 Fosters Snowflake Float.
Yes definitely I am working on two blogs/websites and getting Men of Trent out etc.
I am looking at the family archives again and copying photographs that I have missed.
One problem is that there are so many to choose from.

Re: 1905 Fosters Snowflake Float.
What an amazing little float! Never seen anything like that before? I assume being made of celluloid they were quite delicate and as such very few have survived?
