    Gift wrapping by OrdinaryArtifacts

    Items will be wrapped beautifully and tied with a vintage ribbon. A handwritten card is included with gift messages.

These antique cast iron case pulls were once used in printing shops around the world. The drawers would be full of wood and metal type to be used to print posters, newspaper headlines, broadsides, books and more.

These are authentic antique pulls, not reproductions.

Each of these handles has the name of a company on it. They range in age and quality, though none are in poor shape. You can purchase single pulls or small sets when possible. If you’re interested in purchasing in bulk or mix-and-matching a set, please contact me for a discount.

Curator's Note:

Each artifact in the shop is an authentic vintage or antique piece. Our items are carefully curated for their beauty, uniqueness and charm rather than their condition. Everything in the shop is sold 'as is'.

You can expect signs of wear that are appropriate with aging such as discoloration, curling, small rips and evidence of previous ownership. I try to capture any extreme flaws in pictures and questions are always welcome.

Caring for Your Artifact:

Take care of your artifact by keeping and displaying it in a climate-controlled area. When storing books, photos and other ephemera, use acid-free tissue paper or archival plastic sleeves (polyester, polypropylene and polyethylene). For repairs, use pH neutral adhesive and acid-free tape.


Avoid using rubber bands, paperclips, tape or glue (unless archival quality) to store or mend your artifacts.
