Recently I've been a little obsessed with vintage office supplies...ok...maybe more than a little. The Vintage Office Flickr group adds fuel to my obsession. Staplers, clocks, and typewriter ribbon - oh my! You just can't beat the heavy metal and retro font. Wouldn't these look great in a home office or a unique shelf in the living area?
Thanks for all your well wishes on my blog break - although it really didn't feel like a break at all! At least the weekend is near...helllooo weekend!!

Stay obssesed okay. Love it all.
Yes, I totally agree. What fabulous designs. Why don't they make things to look like this these days? Ahhh . . . .
why do i covet that clock so very very bad? i love it. love. no really, i love it. i want it. now please.
wonderful images!
Oh dear--- I love each and every one of these!
I actually collect typewriter ribbon tins and have a few really goodies! :)
All would fit nicely on the set of Mad Men, to which I've become completely addicted! ☺
if i were to start a collection, this would be the one!
need. want. must have. everything.
Oh, these would go fabulously with a vintage typewriter. I love vintage typewriter keys, don't you? So cool.
aaa!
i want vintage sewing machines, radios, telephones AND staplers. i have two vintage staplers and they are HEAVY! but they work very well :)
I have a 30's tape dispenser that makes my heart sing every time I open my desk drawer. I also love those vintage collapsible yardsticks. So freakin useful!
I love vintage items like this!
How I would love to have an old flip clock like this again.
ahh! I want them all :)
One more day, Diana! Just one more day :) I'm counting down the hours!
I love, absolutely adore, vintage office supplies. Our office has a number of those staplers! Ancient beasts that they are :)
i totally would use them for decor.... : )
I love the obsession! How fun. I want a vintage clock on my desk and a blue typewriter and all that fun stuff.
Visual delights indeed!
anything vintage is always a good thing in my 'book'!...Feel free to drop by & hope to hear from you too!

i'm not going to hide it, i have a strange love for mini-staplers from the 60's & earlier. i love everything about them! these pictures are great!
Thanks for the new obsession ;-)
I love that caslon perpetual calendar. So very Mad Men. :-)
These are great! I love the staplers.
i have a vintage green stapler!
i love all this! the old packaging was so neat!
ha! a flickr group for vintage office supplies. too funny.
i've always liked those "old school" staplers.
i love vintage office supplies and have been looking for a tape dispenser for ages. one of the best things about 'mad men' is when they show the offices. so neat. happy weekend!
oh I love all of these items! So retro! How cute would my desk look with all these, quite cute I must say!
that keelox thing is very much like Coke branding. Is it just me?
I love all things vintage. I wish there was a decent market here in Perth.
Reminds me, I must find some ink for my typewriter. I really love the vintage office supplies. I think my boyfriend may regret asking me to move in with him.
Love these vintage office supplies. Much more fun than browsing in Officeworks (you may not have Officeworks over there, it's just a big office supplies franchise)
so rad! i love the staplers especially.
Be still our hearts!!
