The Pressroom and Mercantile at The Box SF

Wonderful visit❣
Jaw dropped when we walked into the store, but before that, you must ring a door bell for admittance. I thought maybe I should know the secret hand shake too 😆
It was like walking back in time when you get inside. Beautiful antique wooden cases for old stores, old printing presses, old papers, etc...
Hope we get to visit again soon.

If you have ever wanted to go back in time this is the place to be!!
From the lights in the ceilings to the old floors and glass cases it gives you the feeling of the past and history before you of how things were made and presented.
It has been the best part of my Christmas season to come and see wonderful old items and the atmosphere is awesome. Oh and not to mention the music!!!!!
You really have to come and see history….

This place is great for anyone interested in history and art/design. They sell everything printed, from stamps to advertisements. The store itself looks like an old mercantile. I can spend hours “time traveling” through the ephemera this store offers. Mark and everyone who works there are always friendly and helpful when you’re looking for something specific.

Absolutely amazing collection. !!!
Love all the design posters. The Owners design posters are great as well. He told awesome stories about his collections.

This is the place I call “Heaven on earth” it’s the most impressive and important collection of old vintage and antique “everything pressed” I’ve ever seen. So much inspiration and true hand crafted art! And the best, you can buy things. Mark the owner is also a wonderful guy and the service is a 5 star! It’s a must place to visit!

I went with some friends who really aren’t that into these things, but they were blown away and loved it.

Such an amazing place! :-)

Such an incredible showroom and store in the middle of SF! It’s like a museum and time capsule with so many pieces to look at. Wide range of prices so it is super reasonable to pick up interesting and unique items. Mark was so genuine and informative to talk to. Highly recommend a visit.

Amazing store and owner Mark is the greatest help and full of information on the zillions of amazing cool stuff here. I will return again and again and recommend to everyone interested in vintage ephemera!

This place is amazing and they have a great friendly staff. It's like a walking back in time. All the cabinetry is amazing and the amount of material they have is insane. Tons fo cool old packaging, tins, labels, and more. Definitely a must see while in San Francisco!

A must visit!🙌

Been to this amazing store multiple time and I will never get tired of visiting this place over and over again!

The owner and the staff has always been very hands-on, helpful and kind.

They really do have great vintage stuffs!

The shop owner and staff were beyond friendly, helpful, and caring. This store is like a glimpse back in time, and you can easily spend hours looking through the various assortments of prints. If you are in the area or looking for something to do, or in the market for some unique decor like I was, it is definitely worth giving this shop a visit.

Astonishing. Everything. I want to spend 17 hours here. The best part is that you end up thinking about everyone you know. The past will meet you here in the form of ephemera. A must!!

Such an incredible, unique space. I will definitely be back, there’s so much to look at.

The perfect place to spend an afternoon wandering around. You can spend hours looking through the literal hundreds of thousands of pieces on display and you’re sure to find something to add to your own collection.

A hidden gem 💎 in the heart of San Francisco. A must see

I don't know where to start... so much beautiful items to browse, paper collectables and vintage pictures and posters by the thousands, will take a wonderfully long time to cruise this delightful business. Check out the presses and the loaded display cases. One of the better shops in this area.

Amazing assortment of vintage items. Very friendly owner. Definitely worth exploring.

This is just one of my favorite place! I live in France and follow Mark for years and seeing him building his dream. The collection is so amazing, it is beyond expectations, you have to visit it to realize the size of the place and of the collection. I had the chance to visit it twice and can not wait to visit again.

Outstanding place! Wonderful selection and very tastefully curated.

Such an amazing store and space!! A walk through time for anyone who appreciates history

This place is one of a kind!! Mark is so helpful and knowledgeable. I love this place !
