    I don’t know exactly what this is, but if it’s what I think it is, I think I want one.

      I believe it was a vinyl embossing machine for making signs. The red part sticking out was some remaining partially embossed plastic, so it had definitely been recently used.

      I was very tempted to take it, but I had no idea how many letters were left in the definitely partial set, and it was going to be very heavy. And I would have been picking them up for ages all down the street, someone had really thrown them around.

      I hope someone found it and gave it back its purpose though.

        It’s sad to think about how much stuff that still has life but ends up in a state like that.
