Amazing!!!! Look at this beauty I found at @bigdaddysantiques in #losangeles Today I arrived back in San Francisco with a truckload of treasures, this afternoon the next four pieces also arrived from @bigdaddysantiques Saturday the first 7 Letterpresses arrive and over the next two weeks we begin setting up the space here at @theboxsf where we are transforming it into a 1890's general store, letterpress printing shop and massive paper arts, book arts and printed ephemera archive and store! In a few months you will be able to come in and order beautifully designed letterpress printing, posters, ephemera, stationery, books, antiques and rare printed objects! We're so excited to be taking the first steps towards creating this very unique concept here in San Francisco, California! #destination #transformation #conversion #restoration #graphicdesign #design #ephemera #archive #letterpress #letterpressshop #letterpressprinting #presses #stonelithography #lithography #printing #art #creativelife #creativity #historic #history #notallwhowanderarelost #sanfrancisco #california #theboxsf (at The Box SF)

Today the most unique ephemera, letterpress, and event space opens its doors to the public. @theboxsf owned by @markesackett.theboxsf has become a premier destination for those of us who share passions around advertising, typography, and all things printed. Congratulate @markesackett.theboxsf for moving his vision and ideas into reality. There’s never been anything quite like this one of a kind space in San Francisco. We expect there will be ways for all of us around the globe to enjoy this amazing place. Awesome work, Mark!!! #theboxsf #ephemera #letterpress #vintageadvertising #vintagetypography #collection #events #sanfrancisco #typehunting #typehunter #thetypehunterco

Double score on this trade card pairing of exquisite type paired with a wonderfully realistic illustration. Would love to have seen this work produced. We wonder if the lettering and art were done by the same talented soul or if it was a collaboration. Either way, it’s a fantastic example of ephemera. #vintageletters #vintageillustration #victorianera #tradecards #typography #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #theboxsf

Vibrant and highly detailed cocoa countertop display label captured from the @markesackett collection at @theboxsf in San Francisco. This beauty packs all the original punch demanded from mercantile counters. Glad to see her survive so we can all admire her. #theboxsf #vintageadvertising #vintagemercantile #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #allthingsprinted #sanfrancisco

We are beyond thrilled with our partnership with @markesackett and San Francisco-based @theboxsf The Type Hunter, Co. has become an official picker for the mercantile. We will continue to help grow the collection and products available at The Box SF as a Midwest-based dealer. If you have period appropriate products and goods for the mercantile, please DM with your unique items. When you experience this 1800s-themed mercantile and acting letterpress shop in person you’ll see how important the details matter. The images shown were captured from the #alamedavintagemarket and a pick to acquire product for the shop’s opening. #allthingsprinted #alwaysonthehunt #vintagemercantile #theboxsf #sanfrancisco #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #alameda

We saw this trade card earlier and can’t help but admire both sides. The front had the detailed lion cut and the reverse had a lovely range of type. Proper advertising for this importer of taxidermy and artificial eyes. #vintageadvertising #vintagetradecard #vintageillustration #vintagetype #lettering #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #theboxsf
