A while ago, I wrote about Phil’s Stationery, one of the few remaining independent stores of its kind in NYC, selling new and vintage office supplies. When I stumbled across their midtown Manhattan store, I was in heaven.
The sign alone is just so cool, and inside, there was a pleasantly dusty mess of notebooks, pens and assorted stationery supplies. I barely scratched the surface. I haven’t been back, but now I feel like I can get the same feeling from the comfort of my own home: Phil’s has a storefront on Amazon where they sell all sorts of stuff, including many virgin vintage office supplies. Some of these are Made in the USA items that are probably now produced in China. Here’s a few things that intrigued me:

WONDERFUL!!!
I have a 1930-1940 era notebook cover, 4-ring 6.5 x 10.5 journal style that I can’t find any info on. It’s Boorum & Pease. It’s really cool. I have pictures but I can’t find anything that looks like it.

I have a windows 98 sign computer and need an old copier. I like the HP1170c model because it has enlarge and reduce functions and color printing. The one I have only scans. Need any compatible printer
