Levenger Items Now Available

,

Early in 2006 several representatives of Levenger, the company that makes “tools for serious readers,” visited the Library Company to explore the possibility of creating products based on the Library Company’s collections. CEO Steve Leveen and his staff were excited by what they saw here, and Levenger has produced two items replicating objects in our collection. The first is an 18th-century leather fire bucket for use as a magazine or kindling holder, which will be available on Levenger’s website in mid-November. The second is a 19th-century two-step library ladder, available currently on the Levenger website. Future projects may include bookends on which Benjamin Franklin’s famous “Join, or Die” cartoon depicting a segmented snake will be laser engraved on natural American black cherry, and a book of aphorisms based on the sources Franklin used for his Poor Richard’s sayings. To purchase these great new items, visit www.levenger.com.
