Probably only of interest to me. And anyway, is there anyone really out there?
For the life of me, I just can't walk by a vintagey looking advertising tin with fabulous graphics and leave it there. Yesterday I found this beauty filled with pure junk geometry instruments, but for $5, who the hell cares?
It just so happens that I stumbled upon a geometry set that belonged to my father and it's ancient and high quality and now they have a new home.
This is a tin
I coveted so much that I agreed to pay over $10 plus shipping on eBay even though I knew that it was worth $2.59 at any Cracker Barrel in the United States or in limited stores anywhere and everywhere in Canada other than Quebec because the advertising lacks French and thus makes Francophones cry, and therefore is illegal to sell here. I will let you know if I am arrested for owning this contraband if it ever comes to that.
Anyway.
I didn't realize that a package of crayons came with it and my God, I dare you to smell a package of Crayola crayons and not be immediately transported back to your little five year old self. Oh, the nostalgia of it all!
Edit I just noticed that Binney & Smith mention Paris on their advertising, and oh my god, the irony, it burns.
