P1010043super wild & inventive stationery set from 1959 with great conceptual pages in different shapes, sizes & colors…one is a cube! these were hard to photograph & my scanner is busted so bear with me…it says “for pen scratching, this is way out”, shoot me the quill, phil” and ” don’t be a cube, rube, pen me often”

P1010016 1

one is jst an odd shape with music notes & beats playing sax & bongos…P1010015my favorite is a record!

    This is BEYOND FANTASTIC!! I’ve never seen this and probably would have had to have been rushed to a hospital had I stumbled upon it at a thrift shop, swap meet or on eBay, etc. I’m still hyperventilating.

    Beatnik stuff was so great anyway but the fact that these are cut into different shapes and everything is so individual is outstanding. I know it would be even better if you still had the dictionary but as far as this aKitschionado is concerned this is pretty perfect.
