content: Since the Celluloid Company of New York owned the term Celluloid, other firms found other terms for their celluloid products. DuPont adopted Pyralin, adding Ivory to suggest elegance. Thus the “Ivory Pyralin” inscriptions on these two salve boxes. In 1922, the Federal Trade Commission decreed the term misleading.
