Vintage Dennison Crepe Paper - MAROON -1940s-1950s Fold

Crepe paper has been used for crafting for over a century, made from tissue paper with added sizing for strength and creped for wonderful texture. The tighter the grain, the stiffer the paper, allowing it to retain its shape as you form costumes, party favors, table decorations, or ornaments—you can even wet it to take on intricate custom shapes!

While crepe paper is still produced today, at SilverCrow we love the old stuff. Older papers carry a natural patina and subtle soft aging that only decades of time can create. And of all historic crepes, Dennison is undeniably the best.

Preserved in its original 1940s–1950s yellow-and-red paper band, this rich maroon crepe sheet fold is in fine condition for its age with a touch of authentic edge foxing. The paper band features an original printed price of 19¢, as well as an order form on the back for historic 50¢ idea pamphlets (though sadly those are no longer available!).
