October 5
They first caught my attention because of their resemblance to old type block letters, and after talking to the dealer I learned that these too are old print blocks of the metal variety. These were once used to print catalogs advertising early ice boxes, and showing the variety of ornamental hinges and mechanisms available. How interesting! If only our "ice boxes" were still this beautifully decorated....
The above print block will be included in the ever-growing treasure pot. I think these beauties are perfect to display or to be used in a vintage craft project!
Such a wonderful piece of American history.
Take a peek at the treasure chest so far- it's lookin' good!
How the give away works:
Every single day of October I will be adding a fabulous vintage treasure to the prize pot. Then, on November 1st I will select one winner to receive ALL of the items! I have gone through my personal collection of goodies to bring you over 30 of the most fun, unique, inspiring treasures and I hope you love all of them as much as I do.

I think this is my favourite addition so far!! I've been looking for a book-end for ages, but not a generic book-end...this would do the job perfectly!!
This is quite unusual. I don't know how you can part with it. The treasure pot is getting more interesting as the month goes on! I love the print block!
Wow, this is a beautiful addition to the pot!
Wow, I go away on vacation for a few days and then see all of the wonderful things you've added to your give-away. I can't believe the detail on the print block, its gorgeous.
