I'd like Architect Heirlooms for $800 Alex.

 


Unfortunately, Architectural innocence is now lost within the world wide web. If you Google "French Curve," well, many unsavory images pop up.  To simpler times !



I'd like Architect Heirlooms for $600 Alex.

 



Wait...so you are telling me I can write on this drawing in blue lead...and NOBODY will see it on the prints?  Magic!






I'd like Architect Heirlooms for $400 Alex.

 


Koh-i-noor or Rotring? Who made the better pen? Cleaning your set without bending the needle was a steady handed skill unto itself....




I'd like Architect Heirlooms for $200 Alex.

 

It wasn't mustard gas but it had to be pretty darn close.  If you were working for a firm in your college summers in the 80's, you probably found yourself running prints as busy work in the back. Holding one's breath while changing the ammonia supply was a test of physical strength like no other.
