Made in Canada, eh.
Steel Cobbler’s Rivets – Dominion Tack & Nail Co. Limited. Galt, Ontario
Each time I think I am close to the edge of running out of Obso items, I open up Mr. OP’s toolbox and find something else that fits the bill. They were probably procured at the same garage sale as the American furniture nails.
This box can no longer contain the rivets.
Status: Borrowed. So return to toolbox. Take note of font for future use.

Alt-title: Untitled Object No. 237 for cobbling together stray thoughts.
The usual shout out to John’s and Richard’s blogs for kicking off this whole Alt-title Untitled stuff. “Joke” format at the end of posts inspired by Ben‘s blog.
Had this set to publish yesterday at 5pm. Logging in now I see it didn’t publish. Weird.

I too just love this old packaging..I have some lovely things of my Grandads with the greatest designs, somehow full of warmth..
Yes, even though it was the early days of advertising/marketing they do feel infused with a warmer vibe. Perhaps that’s absolutely false nostalgia:)
I like the “Tack & nail” font.
I miss packaging that looks like this.
A small box that begs to be picked up and examined.
The packaging is lovely isn’t it.
That red shade, and the font–it really gets under your skin.
Yup. I’m sizing up the font for use in a future project.
like the canada “eh” !
🙂
Beautiful shots, Deanne – number three does it for me. Yes, the scheduled posts thing can be a bit temperamental.
Thanks Richard!. Yes this weekend WP seems to be temperamental for me. Oh well, it’s only me counting the precision of days:)
