Remington Cutlery countertop felt.

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

Not an exact date, but Dupont got involved with Remington in 1933, advertised heavily for a few years but cutting back considerably. I'd say the felt was made somewhere between 1933 and 1935.

A grand total of 2. I backed off bidding on the other when it surpassed the $400 mark.
