Scars
This type cabinet came from a newspaper print shop that must have had a prolific smoker. The entire front edge of the top is scarred with burns from lit cigarettes. Another cabinet from the same shop has the same burn marks.

Some before and after shots of this handsome letterpress cabinet. I haven't been able to find a spray paint color that I'm completely head over heels for yet, so for now I'm leaving it chrome without any protective coat (until I decide!!). I am sort of digging the chrome though. Turns out this cabinet was the perfect size for the small collection of type that I have. 🎉

New type cabinet!! It's metal, it's really clean because it's dust free, it's about 1/3 the size of our other cabinet but holds the same number of cases...it's almost perfect (would only be better if it were wood, but we'll forgive it for that). Top three fonts are new, bottom one is old but relocated from the hulking monster other cabinet.
