They are beautifully worn - there is even evidence of the odd tooth mark where a kindy kid has decided to have a taste. People collect all sorts of stuff and you can see more over at Sophie's.

Flea Market Finds
I really like typography. It is that simple - if a piece of artwork includes letters and text, chances are I am gonna like it. I practically drool over the amazing collection of letter-press stuff housed in the printmaking studio at art school. So, you can imagine my delight when I found a bag full of letters - lovely wooden letters- and a few numbers ...
They are an odd assortment but all in primary colours so I am guessing they were from alphabet puzzles originally. I think I will be creating some kind of arrangement with them. For now I just like looking at them piled up on the table!

'ello sue!
how i understand, a passion for type... i would sort of dive for a package of any type, i have done so in the past, not that diving was imperative, it just urges me so...
lovely to hear from you.
ps - i will not cut it up, did i already say?

Oh, they are stunning and I'm so envious. I'd love to get my hands on some of these. What a remarkable find. Lucky you. Enjoy them!
Love them! Just precious, beautifully worn, gorgeous colours. GREAT find!
some many possibilities!
This is just the TYPE of thing I would pick up!

Funny, I scored a bag similar, but with less cool aged patina.
I spray painted mine off white, now there is the word LOVE on my shelf...
OOOO fabo find, well done, I love that they have tiny tooth marks.
