They are a piece of art, and prbably greatly appreciated. If they are old, at least they are not in a dusty basement. This is a FANTASTIC design!That is a gorgeous wood table too!

IT'S NOT LIKE THEY ARE BEING BURNED OR RUINED.

I only bought my initials, because I couldn't think of any other use for a complete set (although they didn't have complete sets) but now I wish I had bought more. Love the fact that they are removable from the wall and not damaged by this use. I saw tons of broken letter sets at Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market this past fall in NYC.

It does seem to be the Great American way these days- forge ahead with your ideas, criticism be damned. My cat's coat would would look real cute as a pair of mittens but... Design needs to go beyond the visual components or else you're just decorating. Yes Praisley, sadly you are right.

Wood type is for printing and that is what many letterpress printers still use it for...it doesn't just sit around!
