I am pretty sure these are no older than 1940-50s  but rubber tubing has been around for a while.  RUBBER BAND The first rubber band was made in 1845 by Stephen Perry of the rubber manufacturing company Messers Perry and Co., in London, England. This rubber band was made of vulcanized rubber. Perry invented the rubber band to hold papers or envelopes together. Lew |
