Blink! Brio Soap Boxes

Seen today in Blaesstraat/rue Blaes, Brussels

Boxed treasure 78rpm sleeves

I have a weakness for old paper. I like the surface it has and the life it had. So I collect stuff that other people would throw away. It is rare to come across plain old useless paper on markets but it happens. I will show some examples later. Just to tell you I might have taken this box home even if it had been empty. But it wasn’t. Let us not rush. Turn it around first.

Nice lettering on the remains of the paper tape that held it closed. And a pretty illustration that says ‘handle with care’ without words. Let’s open it.

The box contains  a collection of bakelite 78 rpm records, all in great company sleeves. I will show these treasures in the next days. For now enjoy the packaging.

Blink! Super Tailor’s Tape

I feel that if things stay on your table for a long time, they must mean something to you. This being decided, I just have to figure out what. Hm.
