    Apparently it was made by Mason Parker of Winchendon, not Mason Converse of Winchendon. I'll go take photos of the scroll right now.

    Mo - do you have the whole roll? There's nothing on the bottom of mine except "Stop Turning", just like the top.

    my roll is not complete - ends with some flag parts showing -

    Oh - that's too bad. I can show you what the rest looks like - although I didn't take a picture of the rest of the flags. I didn't realize yours ended halfway through them.

    It will be interesting to know what you find

    Assuming no value w/o a roll in good condition are there any suggestions out there for making it more interesting for small children?

    Mine are a little different... Labels say "LithoPlate Educational Board" made by the Richmond School Furniture Co. from Muncie, IND. Last president it shows on that particular area is Herbert Hoover ( 1929-1933) Pretty well dates it as it shows 1929-____

    Here's one.....go to a Lowes or some other reasonably priced place....get either one of the discarded cut roll shades or have one cut.....a smooth one.....then either do the art work yourself or have some put on it!!!! Voila!!!! Or even let the children do the art work themselves!!!!:D:D:happy::happy::happy:
