Older coin wrapping paper? Discontinued wrapper roll from String & Sons. Just thought it was neat.

Opened up a stock bank roll of Nickels last night and found this packed between two coins in the roll.  Thought it was pretty neat for this to have made its way into a roll of coins.  Never really paid much attention to coin wrappers as I get 99% of my rolls from my local bank which are always wrapped tightly in new white LOOMIS paper rolls. On the flip side, buying "OBW" rolls from a third party, one has to be very cautious for a variety of reasons.  I did some research on what I could see and read on this shard of paper.  It was produced by String and Sons in Harrisburg, PA (50 Cents of Pennies).  It is currently a discontinued product per their website but that's all I could come up with. Just wondering how old this paper roll may be. It is extremely fragile and thin paper.  Not a big deal at all but I still found it interesting and thought I'd share it with the group.

That paper roll is very recent. String and Sons was literally next door to my precinct’s polling place when I lived in Harrisburg, PA. Now Dallas Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons lived across the street. Then he played for Harrisburg High. As far as I know, String is either still running, or COVID shut down.
