Watch paper, a small circle of paper, printed with an advertisement, which aided in protecting a watch movement when inserted into a pocket watch.
This hand-trimmed paper disk is printed with an advertisement for a hatter on King Street in Lancaster. Within a foliate border is the text: "Made & Sold by FREDERICK FRICK, King Street nearly opposite the Goal (sic) LANCASTER." Written in black ink, the text is done in cursive and printed lettering. The final "K" in FREDERICK was added later, since it was deleted when originally scrivened. At the top border is a tricorner hat and at the bottom is a beaver, both signs of Frick's trade: a hatter. Written by Wendell Zercher.
