Bought at the flea market this weekend, a set of numbered, barbed 1948 tacks that "keep track of screens, storm windows, drawers, lockers, etc." Among other features, they are "rustproof. . . with raised figures that remain visible even after painting." For counting things up and nailing them down. For meditations on precision, worth.
I like the old copy, the font and the dust.
9 maids a-milking:
fantastic!
mmmm
i am in the middle of a counting up and nailing down of a different sort right now. industrious, but disorganized. could use your tacks.
(thought of you when i saw waxfleurs at the farmer's market on saturday.)
I am an accountant and a creative being. Maybe that's why I love these. Who knew I would have ever wanted tacks so badly?
ooh. were you in the clock tower this weekend? (i think we should have a clock tower date someday.)
Amazing find! Love the orderliness.
AWESOME. imagination and one of those can go far! good luck! haha
