Re: Aluminum Novelties
NOVELTIES FOR I896
During the past months novelty dealers and manufacturers have been so busy disposing of goods that they have had no time to originate new designs, but now that the holiday season is over with, there are prospects of returning ingenuity. The Scovill Manufacturing Co., the W. H. Kemp Co., the Aluminum Novelty Co., Reymond & Gottlob, and other manufacturers and dealers, intend to put new goods on the market. It has been the custom of novelty producers to await the appearance of something novel in silver and then copy it in aluminum, but it is now time that aluminum should be a leader. Put your wits together and bring out something new regardless of what has been done in other metals.

Re: Aluminum Novelties
Hi,
Aluminum was one of the most expensive metals at the time (due to difficulties with electrolytic extraction).
$12 a pound of aluminum in 1880
$12 in 1880 is worth $316.70 today
