Stumbled upon these dope ribbon cases for typewriters. These would have been sold in your local stationaries and used to replace the ribbon in the typewriter, when your old one was all worn down – kinda like replacing the double A’s in your bluetooth keyboard for the Mac!

We love the simple but bold graphics that makes these tins so attractive, and it’s a shame this same level of attention to design doesn’t exist with more everyday items of today.

We’ve got a small selection of our faves above, photos thanks to uppercaseycc.
