I promised to post and so I will. Had to quit while I was ahead on this one cause we’re short on time and the CFO has to make a bank run this morning, but I squeezed the juice out of this hand-painted lettering I pulled off a piano. These letters have what you might call character. The little serrations all over, the flat-topped ampersand, the diamond loop on the M — there’s a lot of excitement going on here.

Check out this goofy Egyptian motif with the winged sun up top. Mathushek was a German doing cutting-edge piano innovation in New York City, but in the early 20th century you could sell anything by putting a little pharaoh on it, and if THAT is not the American dream well folks I don’t know what is

caturday battlestation pic for your consideration:
