Collection: Vintage Round Typewriter Ribbon Tin Travel Palette

These old, charming typewriter ribbon tins are a reminiscence of the manual, often arduous yet utterly satisfying process of typing out 50 pages of a term paper - alike in many ways to the process of creating art in today's digital world.

Be inspired by these little items of history! Each vintage tin is unique from the logo designs and the retro typography, down to its patina, nicks, dents and closure quirks. These tins were sourced from the US, from shops that say some of these are as old as circa 1920s. I cleaned them to remove loose rust, then sprayed them with clear acrylic to stop further rusting, preserve the patina and make it more hygienic to use.
