Default Joe Louis fan (1935 Brown & Bigelow?)

Hello everyone! A friend wanted me to take a look at this item. I was thinking it was a a 1935 Brown and Bigelow premium that was trimmed but the symmetry of the cut looked pretty professional so I figured I would ask here. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! -Frank

It is not a trimmed premium; it is a separate product, a B & B fan made for various businesses to give to customers pre-air-conditioning at places like funeral homes and churches. The back likely has an ad and bio:



Considerably rarer than the B & B premium itself due to the item likely being used and damaged then discarded.

I cover the fan and other B & B Louis items, plus many other rare Louis items, in my book. I also have an extensive collection of B & B and related Louis premium items. There were quite a few.

So B&B made photos AND fans - anything else? Also, was that fan released in 1935 as well?

This is some kind of acetate or bakelite piece, probably from a display:



B & B also made wall calendars with the Louis image. Also this small notepad after Louis became champ:
