Invisible Ink Collection Featured in Yakima Magazine

Invisible Ink Collection Featured in Yakima Magazine

Our affinity for old-world craftsmanship and vintage type has transformed our small office into a growing museum of antique typewriters, vintage ink bottles, and assorted tools of the trade showcasing the evolution of the design industry. We were honored to be selected from a myriad of undoubtedly superior collections throughout the valley to be featured in the “Collectors” spotlight in the latest issue of Yakima Magazine.

While most of our design services are computer-driven these days, we can appreciate the tactile qualities of industrial design that once permeated the industry. Our collection inspires us to create works that can withstand the test of time, and we hope others will make a similar effort to reverse the trend of disposable goods. 

The article has not gone unnoticed, and we have been contacted by several area residents who themselves have recognized the value of preserving history. It is incredible to find unique and well-preserved items to add to our collection, and we consider ourselves fortunate to be in good company with fellow collectors here in Yakima.
