I love these little metal letters that were once used in an old engraving machine.
I bought them from one of the dealers in the antique mall where I have a booth.
There are over 100 letters in this cool little box.
I bought the box of lowercase letters. I'm kicking myself for not buying the uppercase box too.
The letters are 1 1/4" in length making them perfect for some jewelry projects. I'm sure you'll be seeing them repurposed in one way or another!
I'm linking with Linda @ Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday.
Have a wonderful day.
Jane
I love stuff like this!
ReplyDeleteLetter love rules here too - those are great!
ReplyDeleteJan
That's an amazing find!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love them too! Good find!
ReplyDeletewow ... that's gold. A golden box of opportunity.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see how they appear in projects!
Can't wait til you work your magic on the letters. I think they found their way into the right hands.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
Lisa
That's what I call COOL junk! You should go back and see if they still have the uppercase set.

ReplyDeletewoulda' coulda' shoulda'
ReplyDeletewe've all done it ...

What a WONDERFUL find, Jane! I so wish I could go treasure hunting with you...it would be so much fun!
ReplyDeletethose are neat...I would have thought they'd be reversed for printing...
ReplyDeleteWhat type of letters are they and what do you suppose they were used for?
I think...they're perfect for display and clever little works of art that you are so famous for!
see you, Pat
Wonderful find. Maybe the other set is still there. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI love it!

Hi Jane,
ReplyDeleteI Hate when that happens! Well, you still have the lowercase ones
to play with. I can't wait to see what creations you come up
with.

Cool letters! but you've discovered one of the biggest problems with owning booth. I can't help but spend my profit in the antique mall at the other booths. I'm always finding something.
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteI was in Parkville this weekend and of course I made a beeline to your booth downstairs. I am the person that bought a bunch of stuff on Sunday! :D When I look at your previous post, I can pick out all the things that I purchased including the amazing mirrors!! I will be back again very soon too to see what sort of amazing junk you have added to your booth!
xo,
Sarah
Oh, you really should have gotten the other one too, Jane!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Cool letters, love them on the block:@)
ReplyDeleteYep...those are neat....I can see them used in so many different ways!
ReplyDeleteGreat find. I would go back and see if I could get the uppercase letters, too!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun,
Cheryl
Sweet buy Jane.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a treasure there!! How fun. Looking forward to seeing how you use them. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat find Jane!!!
ReplyDeleteI found a whole box of brass stencils awhile back. I do love them.

so glad you are back. =)

They are sooo cool and you could use them for so many projects, but I just couldn't because they are so neat....I hope you have more sense than me and we see them in many future projects!
ReplyDeleteCarol
This box is awesome Jane. I would love to stumble onto one of these some day to add to my pile of great stuff :)
ReplyDeleteYour new space is looking great, but what a lot of work it must have been to move. Way to go girl!
hugs...
Don't bruise yourself up too much.... lowercase are so much friendlier! Love how the 'o' has TOP marked on it... who'd a thunk? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Have fun with your new toys.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Can't wait to see what you do with them!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you come up with........I'm sure, like everything else, I'll be astonished by your creativity. :-)
ReplyDeletexoxo
Oh these are so cool! I love these, you find the best stuff!
ReplyDeleteThese are marvelous! Once upon a time, my daddy had an old memograph machine and a huge cabinet full of metal type. I was so disappointed to find out it had been sold while I was in the Navy. Just seeing these bring back good memories of the fun I had going through those drawers and imagining typesetting.
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt you will do something wonderful with those letters. Hope the new space is working out great. Hugs and blessings, Tammy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and a treasure indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love those too! I came over after seeing a picture from your blog on Pintrest, and I've spent days, returning to your blog to soak in all of your wonderful ideas! Your old keys on magnets inspired me to do something similar. I hope it's ok that I posted a picture of yours on my blog (with a link back to your blog). If it's a problem, please let me know, and I'll remove it. Thanks for the inspiration! laurie
