According to the Ashtabula map for 1884 there was a population of 6,500. Within that population there were 2 paid firemen and 70 minutemen to deal with matters. Nowadays Ashtabula has 19,000+ folks. Honestly, we just like saying the name. #vintageletters #sanbornmaps #lettering #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #ohioquality

We love the Northern Michigan Lakes pamphlet cover shown. There’s a hand written date of 1882 and has appropriate design and type styles for that time. #vintageadvertising #vintageletters #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco

The talents of wood and metal engravers continue to inspire us. The was such intricate and complex detail etched into the surface of raw, natural materials. Just look at the line work in this advertisement. #engraving #vintageadvertising #vintageletters #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco
