  1. #TIL Smith-Corona Marchant (aka SCM) not only made typewriters, but they also manufactured index cards! They apparently had an office supplies group in Marion, Indiana.

    I can’t wait to take some of these for a spin in my Sears Cutlass.

  2. Acquired Lochby Field Folio A6 (Lochby)

    Keep your A6 notebooks, pens, and essentials organized on the go with the Field Folio A6. Durable, vegan waxed canvas, slim design, and flexible pockets—perfect for travel, journaling, or everyday carry.

    I recently asked the kind folks at Lochby “if the Folio A6 will comfortably fit 25-50 standard 4 x 6″ index cards which are slightly larger than an A6 notebook? If not, is it something you might consider for some of us ‘Hipster PDA’ tribe members in the future?”  

    Erring on the side of caution their customer service replied, “Unfortunately, since the Field Folio A6 zips up, there’s no way to fit this many index cards in it without the potential for damaging them when zipping it up. But I’ll take note of your suggestion and pass it on to our product development team so we can consider it as well as gauge interest.”

    Because I often use A6 sized notebooks, I couldn’t resist adding to my Lochby collection, so I went ahead and ordered it anyway.

    It arrived in the post yesterday. Today I’m happy to report that it actually will accommodate 4 x 6″ index cards reasonably well.  I can comfortably fit about 30 cards into the right side pocket and still have room to tuck a Hobonichi A6 notebook into the folio and still zip it shut handily. 

    Because I usually have a few pre-glued decks of index card “notebooks” sitting around, I tried one of these and can happily report that the back cover/board fits into the right pocket easily (just as you’d tuck the back cover of a notebook into it) and works well with the Lochby A6 folio! (The center elastic bands are slightly smaller and fairly tight, and could work with these glued decks too, but will tend to cut the glue at the ends, so one should take care here or carefully only glue the center 5 inches of the deck for this use case.) I suspect that if one had a plastic wallet-photo type holder, it might work well in this, particularly if you’re carrying around some of your daily use cards in addition to blank cards for future use.

  4. 📎 Oh, the #nostalgia of Clippy—a relentless paperclip that helped you with WordArt while somehow managing to not sell your data to Big Tech. If only trillion-dollar companies could stop treating our data like a buffet and start acting more like an animated office supply from the '90s! 🙄 #ThrowbackTechThursday

  5. Oh hell yeah, my step mom offered to get me like 30-40 bucks worth of school supplies to celebrate the end of my first term with grades about as high as they possibly can be (my lowest right now is a 98). Gonna spend the #NASCAR race browsing Amazon for exclusively pens cause I go through them fast which is always the downside to preferring bold gel ink.

  11. Both sad & hilarious, Kazuya Ishikawa’s “Salaryman Eraser” is goes bald with proper use, mirroring the difficult conditions Japanese business people face. Note that #Japan hasn’t updated the term to include the fairer sex yet. #capitalism #officesupplies kottke.org/25/01/japanese-sala

  12. Weird Marketplace find of the day. Telephone address book. Young people will have trouble understanding why we needed these or even how to open them. #WeirdMarketplace #Telephone #AddressBook #OfficeSupplies
