#theboxsf

Today the most unique ephemera, letterpress, and event space opens its doors to the public. @theboxsf owned by @markesackett.theboxsf has become a premier destination for those of us who share passions around advertising, typography, and all things printed. Congratulate @markesackett.theboxsf for moving his vision and ideas into reality. There’s never been anything quite like this one of a kind space in San Francisco. We expect there will be ways for all of us around the globe to enjoy this amazing place. Awesome work, Mark!!! #theboxsf #ephemera #letterpress #vintageadvertising #vintagetypography #collection #events #sanfrancisco #typehunting #typehunter #thetypehunterco

Choose your adventure...factories up front eagle party out back. We looked at goods like this all afternoon. You’re in luck, we have lots of photos itching to be posted. #vintageadvertising #tradecatalogs #theboxsf #markesackett #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #flipitover

Double score on this trade card pairing of exquisite type paired with a wonderfully realistic illustration. Would love to have seen this work produced. We wonder if the lettering and art were done by the same talented soul or if it was a collaboration. Either way, it’s a fantastic example of ephemera. #vintageletters #vintageillustration #victorianera #tradecards #typography #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #theboxsf

Vibrant and highly detailed cocoa countertop display label captured from the @markesackett collection at @theboxsf in San Francisco. This beauty packs all the original punch demanded from mercantile counters. Glad to see her survive so we can all admire her. #theboxsf #vintageadvertising #vintagemercantile #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #allthingsprinted #sanfrancisco

We are beyond thrilled with our partnership with @markesackett and San Francisco-based @theboxsf The Type Hunter, Co. has become an official picker for the mercantile. We will continue to help grow the collection and products available at The Box SF as a Midwest-based dealer. If you have period appropriate products and goods for the mercantile, please DM with your unique items. When you experience this 1800s-themed mercantile and acting letterpress shop in person you’ll see how important the details matter. The images shown were captured from the #alamedavintagemarket and a pick to acquire product for the shop’s opening. #allthingsprinted #alwaysonthehunt #vintagemercantile #theboxsf #sanfrancisco #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #alameda

We saw this trade card earlier and can’t help but admire both sides. The front had the detailed lion cut and the reverse had a lovely range of type. Proper advertising for this importer of taxidermy and artificial eyes. #vintageadvertising #vintagetradecard #vintageillustration #vintagetype #lettering #typehunter #typehunting #thetypehunterco #theboxsf
