Book: 8 15/16” x 7 1/2” x 3/4”
I love it precisely for its decay
with a surface that invites all sorts of imaginings of all of the outfits born atop it
and for me there is something very special feeling about these that comes through the combination of simple geometry + strong color + hand-stitched linen + knotted ties on wooden posts + utilitarian function + many years of use and exposure to the elements

Set of Four Beautiful Handpainted Black on White Wood Double-sided Scoring Numbers criticaleyefinds Book: 8 15/16” x 7Hand painted numbers, rich black on creamy white, terrifically aged surfaces, and double sided, covering the range of 0 to 5 how not to love? I believe these were likely old scorekeeping numbers, and know they were found in Maine they look very classic baseball y to me, but I don't know for sure. I presume there was once a 6, 7, 8 and 9 too, but these are what remain. Beautiful, and good for counting all sorts of things, including marking one's age,
