Some publishing companies utilize this as a means of establishing a sense of illusion with regard to the chronological age of a product (so as to create the impression of a faux-type of significance in the nostalgic sense), but, in most instances, deckled pages are a by-product of time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE - If any of the items being featured here pique your interest, please don't hesitate to visit us online at our other Etsy sales venues at the following web addresses: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtReDunn – A massive database of scarce and unique artistic compositions from prominent luminaries to lesser known commodities comprising a litany of disciplines. https://www.etsy.com/shop/CollectiblesReDunn – An online service portal rife with rare antique and vintage collectibles from time immemorial, with particular focus and attention paid to items possessing a sense of nostalgic fervor. https://www.etsy.com/shop/OneReDunn – Featuring a large selection of novelty pieces, home décor, household tools and accessories tailored to fit your specific needs. https://www.etsy.com/shop/VinylsReDunn – Showcasing a large selection of antiquarian record albums from some of the music industry's most celebrated talents, including Johnny Cash, Chubby Checker, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and many more from a plethora of backgrounds and genres spanning generations.
