Oh, THIS is the place I want to own. Or work in. Or just be able to visit every weekend.

Darned teacher's retirement system, keeping me a slave to the man with the promise of 80% of my salary when I retire.

I don't see what makes these letters "vintage". They might have been produced yesterday in China.

I just laughed out loud when I realized I've been staring at the glass eyes...

Just so you know the letters are truly vintage and not reproductions. These letters are from the late 40's and came from an old marquee sign makers shop.
