All of the material goods I desire are surprisingly academic and/or old fashioned. I warn you ahead of time that I will be using the word "fine" quite frequently through all of this.
I want the following:
- Letter Writers Alliance Gift Bag
- Telegram Stationery Because I want to send telegrams but they are surprisingly crazy expensive.
- Black Ocean Globe Because it's classy.
- Royal Quiet DeLuxe Portable of late 1940s My desire for this typewriter goes way back. I would love to have this on my desk. Love.
- The entire Everyman's Library collection Fantastic.
- A library in my home with loft/balcony shelves up a spiral staircase and rolling ladders
- Very nice ex libris plates, stamps, and embosser.
- Some fine personalized stationery with good-looking envelopes.
- The Pilot Birdie Pen
- More notebooks
- A fine set of calling cards
- A fine watch for an inquisitive lady (I like the one displayed on the top middle- something thin and elegant with many astronomical and chronological instruments)
- The Oxford English Dictionary, the 20 volume set
- A beautiful world atlas- I have yet to find a current one to my liking online.
- An astrolabe in the classical style
- A sundial, specifically a ring dial, perhaps for a necklace
- An orrery. Oh, how I'd love an orrery.
- Any other beautiful scientific instruments of old
- An old-world telescope
- A celestial globe, certainly more old-world than the one linked would be too pleasing.
- A good microscope
- This book in color. I only have the black & white version :(
- A beautiful star atlas
I am sure I could go on. I will let that much be the start.
