This was a tough one.

I’d suggest adding them to Visual Communication Equipment section, where other aids to presenting photographic material are found. Use “Corners, Photo”  (?)  

 

Written Communication has some equally miniscule items such as paper clips, so why not in other categories.  It made me wonder where stamp hinges would go??? (anyone still use or remember those –for stamp collecting?).

I am polling the greater brain trust to help me with a nomenclature question. How would you catalog the little black corners that people used to place photographs in a scrapbook? I have an envelopes worth of these things in their original packaging, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how what would be the best nomenclature. I was thinking somewhere in the “Other Documents” section of Chenall’s or in some type of writing accessory, but nothing seems to fit.

 

Anyone have something similar? Or any suggestions on how you would catalog them?

 

Thanks!
