WOW, LOOK AT THIS ELEPHANT!





Germany / early 1960s
A German company, Deru made beautifully crafted figures of various animals with an imaginative, origami-like technique of crimping/sewing/riveting a single piece of leather.

I did some looking on ebay and other auction houses and previous auctions ended in the price range of 500-1200Euro!—eeks out of my budget but one of the most perfect objects I've come across.

If interested, go here, i think the elephant is still for sale.

found via Designers go to Heaven originally on Freaky Fauna's tumblr.

surplus







Ax-Mans' surplus stores are always a good rummage. the perfect resource where you can purchase sexy women posters, green vs. blue(?) bulbs, corks and always good colored masking tape (not shown). PLUS top-notch displays and commentary written by the staff.

Along U.S. 12 in Detroit





Hello! Unsure if anyone stops by here as it's been ages since my last post. I'm going to try to keep it up on a more regular basis as I have loads of images that are sitting on my desktop. Trying to decide where to focus my posting efforts, here on blogger, tumblr 1, tumblr 2, flickr... Ideally it will all be consolidated all on a website soon.

This post represents a mini inventory of signs and ephemera along U.S. 12 also known as Michigan Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. See more here and the actual photos on my flickr. Explanation to come!
