Left: Tacks from Dominion Tack & Nail; Right: Scan from the Clyde Fans box.
I was going through some of my father's old tools and came across that little box of carpet tacks from the Dominion Tack and Nail Company of Galt, Ontario. The box's font looked much like that used by Seth in his drawings of the fictional town of Dominion, Ontario. Not to mention the Dominion connection. Art imitating life.
I don't know. It might date from the early to mid '70s, but I can't say for certain. There's a price sticker on the other side that says 39 cents, and there's no UPC code. This site has a little history of the company: http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/2013/10/we-used-to-and-still-do-make-things-in.html
Any idea how old the box of nails is? Love the typeface.
