What a spectacular box of stationery I found at my neighborhood antique mall this afternoon! I love the lettering and imagery on the box and the lightning-bolt motif.
Southworth paper has special meaning for me. Not only was this the first company to produce paper especially for typewriters, but it was founded by my great-great-great-grandfather Wells Southworth.

Remember when you could go to the Post Office and purchase “aerograms?” They were a sheet of blue paper that could be folded and pasted into an envelope shape. Today, they’re long gone from the postal world. I miss ’em.
Oh yes, I love those. I’ve gotten some vintage ones on eBay and typed letters on them.
