TELLER, Perfectly Precise (and Concise) Thick Glass Sign with Gold Lettering vintage leather ball; with everything else in softOne of my favorites of the week, both for being a beautiful object and for the excellent one word "teller" which, removed from its original context (at a bank, I'd think) could mean all sorts of things: truth teller, fortune teller, teller of tales, etc. Very thick glass, glorious gold letters, perfectly deadpan sans serif font, crisp and clean and super precise. Plus with the effect of the text appearing as if double when viewed at certain angles.
