45 record converter

[Woodland Detectors]

Jag. It looks pewter like.
Looks like one of those old converter from 33 to 45 record player things I had when I was a kid. Mine were plastic.

Obverse reads: " Webster Chicago Corrp.
Reverse : " Aplied for 5 patent

Ha! It's called a "wafer"

It is what I think was probably the first record adaptor made and marketed in the US . It was invented by Frank A. Jansen (the patent, #2585622, was applied for in 1949 and issued in 1952) and marketed by the Webster-Chicago Corporation. (The reverse side reads “Patent Applied For.)

That was easy!

Not the kind referred to in "drink the wine and chew the wafer" I hope!

In the name of the Father, Son, and the holy Ghost.
You have been forgiven!
