Vintage Typewriter Key Pen

 

We called this unique creation the QWERTY... the order of the first 6 keys on a keyboard, the standard layout for typewriters since the early 1920's.  The unique feature of this program was that once the keys were removed we turned the typewriter into a point-of-sale display.  This allowed retailers to simply slide a keytop on with the customer's desired letter, often a first or last initial and present in a custom box.  

This item is no longer available but if you or your organization is interested in pens, please reach out to us to discuss.

More About Past Prototypes

 

Tokens is based on the creative re-use of existing, authentic materials.  Often times we get an inspiration or receive some materials from a client that triggers a design concept.  In many cases, we find real materials deserve real samples.  While these are not for sale, they are shown here as a representation of our capabilities.  If your organization has some materials that you'd like to memorialize in this fashion, we'd love to collaborate on a custom program with you.
