Janine Vangool of UPPERCASE has posted pictures of her collection of typewriter ribbon tins on Flickr and written a post about it for Poppytalk. I love these little things and the multiple layers of nostalgia they invoke: nostalgia for some of that design style, nostalgia for a time when design was as much a mechanical trade as a white-collar office job, and nostalgia for old typewriters and the level of ubiquitous mechanical precision they represented. But mostly I love them because they’re so nice to look at.
