Desk Art from the Garbage
They were cleaning out an old storage closet at work - I found this gem in the bin. Rubber stamps for business are going the way of all flesh. I had to pull it. I just had to have it!
It serves no purpose other than a connection to a time gone by when typewriters, carbon paper and Rolodex where the norm. Maybe American Pickers will offer me a $1 for it someday?

Glad I'm not the only one. Packrat, that is. Like a magpie, I just can't resist shiny things.

Love it.
I still have Leica M3 I feed film into occasionally. A lot of young people seem very interested in my old camera.

Haha, I have the same phone (same color too) at home. No land line - just a bluetooth attachment so it acts like an extension to my mobile.

double delayed post.
The bluetooth thing for the phone is cool though. If the mobile rings, the land line rings. You can dial (button or dial) from it too.

Those were the good old days. I had one customer that used an IBM Executive to type the master copy of his wife's children's books! I aligned type for him weekly...   On topic; I have a room full of "Desk Art" here...

Love those metal desks - I have one in my garage currently as a research station/workbench. They're indestructable and awesome in all respects - but heavy as fuch to move.
