A typeset drawer is the easiest way to display small mementos and tokens from travels. Rare coins, a decorative pen or a ticket from an event fit perfectly in the drawers teeny compartments. We've also seen a vintage typeset drawer used for storing art supplies in a craft room. Or group a handful of drawers together to make a collage of vertical storage. For rustic charm, you can leave them as-is or DIY the grouping with a coat of fresh paint and decorative paper.

You can find them for $15-20 at flea markets and on Ebay
Pretty much every antique store I go to has typeface drawers (I've always called them "printers' trays"). They are not in scarce supply...yet.
There are a few on eBay right now.
My mom has had these for years to house her thimble collection. It's almost like they were made for it!
