I agree! Going through all these photos, I couldn't help but imagine how fun it must have been working out these designs with just some paper, pencils, rulers, and clay. Some things certainly were simpler back then.

I would have never known that, and I'm sure most people looking at that photo wouldn't either! That is a cool detail, thanks for pointing it out.
