A warmest welcome to all sfgirlbybay readers! Thank you for visiting — and thank YOU to Victoria for your lovely feature of some of my favorite vintage decor pieces.
May I introduce you to Roy G. Biv’s vintage office? While some believed Mr. Biv was OCD in how he color-coded all of his vintage office supplies, he was merely surrendering himself to the rainbow acronym for whom he was subconsciously named.
From my collection of vintage office supplies (left to right), we have an array of colored red pencils and pink erasers for “carbon documents” (why on earth don’t erasers come with built-in brushes anymore?!), a vintage watercolor palate, an orange manual pencil sharpener, a yellow tape measure, a green wooden two-hole paper punch, a green eraser for “original documents,” a cobalt blue inkwell, two blue-tipped “general” erasers, a Tru-Rite typewriter ribbon tin (with the original, sealed ribbon still inside!), and a purple two-toned antique Remington typewriter from the 1930s.
Memo Addendum: Roy G. Biv sincerely hopes that I find more vintage office supplies on my treasure hunting journeys.
Do any vintage office supplies capture space on your desk?
