Hello all! We have a researcher who is doing an industry history on the toothpick trade. We had some price lists for some turned boxes (though not for toothpicks) from a particular company he was looking at - Estes, and he has written back with some further questions. As we mostly deal in pharmaceutical history, I told my researcher that I would post here and see what resources might come to light. I am pasting his question here: "I am specifically interested in knowing the date range over which E. B. Estes & Sons offered imported orange-wood (Portuguese) toothpicks in a turned wooden box. I would also be interested in any other archival materials relating to toothpicks of any kind." You can respond OFF-LIST to either me or my researcher ([log in to unmask]) as I doubt a general interest exists for the history of the toothpick industry on the list. Many thanks in advance for any and all responses.
