Monsen Type Selector, 1956
When we made the mix-and-match FontBooklet at FontShop eight years ago I thought I was the first to come up with this idea. Then I saw Letraset (1976) did it 30 years earlier, and Linotype's Heads and Bodies (1946) came 30 years before that. And now I find this at Letterform Archive: from 1956, by a type shop in Chicago.
