| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the Wall Pocket, which is usually derived from
versions of the Newspaper Hat or the Pyramidal Hat, but
can also be derived from a square. Please contact me if
you know any of this information is incorrect or if you
have any other information that should be added. Thank
you. ********** 1876 As far as I know this design first occurs as a survival in the Cahier de Adele Tissot, which can be dated to 1876.
********** 1890 As 'Vide-poches' in 'Le travail manuel a l'ecole et dans la famille' by MM, Bertrand, Toussaint and Gombert, which was published by Loucene, Oudin et ces Editeurs in Paris in 1890.
********** 1891 As 'Bandtasche' (Wall Pocket) in 'Illustriertes Spielbuch fur Kinder' by Ida Bloch was published by Otto Spamer in Leipzig in 1891.
********** 1892 The same design occurs as 'Petit vide-poches' (Small Empty Pockets) in 'Le Travail Manuel a L'ecole Primaire' by Jully & Rocheron, which was published by Librairie Classique Eugene Belin in Paris in 1892.
********** 1904 It also occurs as 'Rinconera' (Corner), in Guia Practica del Trabajo Manual Educativo' by Ezequiel Solana, which was published by Editorial Magisterio Español in Madrid in 1904. The wording says 'hung on a ring on the wall it can be used at school to hold clarions, blackboards and other small objects.' It may, perhaps, be called a Corner because that is where it would be hung to best advantage.
********** 1910 As 'Wandtasche' in 'Allerlei Papierarbeiten' by Hildergard Gierke and Alice Kuczynski, which was published by Drud und Verlag B G Teubner in Leipzig and Berlin in 1910.
********** 1939 In the guise of 'La pila del agua bendita' (The holy water font) in 'El Mundo de Papel' by Dr Nemesio Montero, which was published by G Miranda in Edicions Infancia in Valladolid in 1939.
********** 1940 As 'Tarjetero' in 'El Plegado y Cartonaje en la Escuela Primaria' by Antonio M Luchia and Corina Luciani de Luchia, which was published by Editorial Kapelusz in Buenos Aires in 1940.
********** 1951 As 'Relojera' in Plegado laminas published by Della Penna, April 1951.
********* 1961 A closely related design folded from a square and interpreted as a 'Taschenbuchbehalter' (tissue container) appears in 'Wir Falten' by Joachim Schönherr and Gerta Schumann, which was published by Rudolf Arnold Verlag in Leipzig in 1961.
