Letterpress furniture. Not what you expected? If you look up the definition in Wikipedia, here is what you get - In typesetting, furniture is a term for pieces of wood that are shorter than the height of the type. These pieces are used to lay out type by blocking out empty spaces (white space) in a layout set in a chase. Nowadays, furniture can be hard to find. Even harder to find the furniture in a furniture cabinet. Even harder to find all of these for a reasonable price.
All of these were accomplished at the very end of my Sunday trip to Cedarburg. I did not intend on finding letterpress materials on this trip so I was extremely excited to land such an unexpected find.
I will clean this up and place it right next to my letterpress.
Among my other finds was this English pottery dog bowl from the 70's. I whipped threw that flea market like a professional ninja picker so quickly that I was done in record time. So, I headed back to the Saturday flea market on my way home on Sunday.
I picked up the last two vintage pull-down charts.
The paramecium. Remember that?
The circulatory system and functional organs of the frog. Oh, sophomore biology class.
Lately I have become interested in vintage kitchen items. I had never seen one of these beaters with the bowl. No whipped cream flying back onto you as you whip away.
