This is my collection of "refurbished" vintage letterheads. They are images that I found on vintage stationary around the web and cleaned up using GIMP digital imaging software. It was all free to me, so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be free to you.
New images will be posted as the letterheads are featured on Everyday Correspondence. Make sure to bookmark this page, or better yet, subscribe to Everyday Correspondence, to get word when new images are added to the archive.
For more free vintage imagery, I recommend the following sites:

Hello, your blog is really cool! Please visit mine too, charmedwishes18.blogspot.com thanks!
Oh, I LOVE the Robot Salesmen letterhead :)
Thanks for sharing
Hey James, I finally printed some of this stuff on some Southworth parchment paper and it looks great! It seems there a couple missing. Do you have plans to put the cigar one (and I think there was one more). I wanted to use the cigar one to write my wife her daily love letter.
Have just posted on 'no telling' about my stationery addiction and here I am in typewriter heaven - I have two at the moment but struggle to get ribbons to fit them. I have a Royel Quiet De Luxe and a turquoise something or other. Am definitely coming back for a proper look and have followed to get your updates. Beautiful layout, by the way, too.
We like this. Let us know if you have any turn-of-the-century or early 1900s stuff from the New York City area. Thanks, Z

These are so great - I'm printing them on Crane ivory colored paper and it looks awesome.
I would have thanked you much sooner had I known you linked to my site on your post! But THANK YOU! I found it on my blog tracker just now. I'm off to check out the rest of your incredible site!
Cathe, you're so welcome! Your blog is rich with imagery, just the kind of thing that I think my site visitors are interested in.
Thanks for stopping in for a visit!
