break the rules
Finally there are some really great gifts to give guys, thanks to Izola! And I am so glad some of the items that we had on back order arrived just in time for me to send to the grandpas for Fathers Day. My fav. is this letter opener, how cool is the "history behind it".
The letter opener is Izola’s first venture into the world of
office wares. It is a bold object
and a perfect addition to the desk landscape. Constructed from brass-plated
alloy, and equipped with a hole to hang it by, the functionality of this piece
extends beyond what the name suggests.
Engraved on one side are centimeter metrics measuring up to 15
centimeters and the slogan, “Break the rules.” On the other side are inch metrics, measuring up to six
inches and exclaiming, “Follow the rules.”
Historically, the letter opener is best known for its role in Patrick Henry’s iconic speech to the Virginia Convention in 1775. Prior to the United States’ independence Henry convinced the Virginia House of Burgesses to deliver troops to fight in the Revolutionary War by exclaiming, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” He then pretended to plunge a letter opener into his side for dramatic effect. Well it worked. They won the Revolutionary War and this just goes to prove that sometimes in life we must “BREAK THE RULES".
