Typographic accessories

Posted on November 16th, 2010 by steve

‘Originally used on hand-cranked Vandercook Proof Presses, each piece of type used in these necklaces were worn out ever so slightly by normal printing use  . . . These obsolete pieces (each measures a little under 1 inch long) have been rescued, plated in silver, and hung from a 22 inch silver-plated brass figaro chain.’

Erica Weiner’s Double Letterpress Necklace.

Also available in Gold. And brass chain options [Silver and Gold].
