A little graphic design history
How many of today’s graphic designers know what this stuff is for? Museum of forgotten Art Supplies. Not as many as should know would be my guess.
The Rubylithe brings back memories… not all of them good. Four years of using that and I never needed stitches though. That can’t be said for everyone I worked with. I used a reduction wheel not that long ago, but I can’t remember why. I don’t even think I have one any more.
I’ve mentioned historic design before, and I likely will again. It’s a shame that more designers don’t know more about the history of their field. It would add depth to their work.
I’m not artistic in the slightest, but man do I miss polaroid cameras! So much fun :)

I use to know a kid in school that would eat Paper Cement, of course, he did a lot of other weird things too, looking back on it, he was probably the inventor of sniffing model airplane glue too!!
As for the hand broom with the wooden handle, I was given a new one last March by the Neighborhood Watch Committee on Clean Up Day for my neighborhood, maybe I should put it away safely for prosperity, seeing it is almost an antique!
