Letterpress Equipment about to be Scrapped
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008I have several letterpress items that are about to be scrapped due to the demolition of the garage they are in. There is a relatively short time frame, but I wanted to be sure folks on this list knew about these items before they disappear for good. If anyone wants them they are essentially free for the taking (with the possible exception of the C&Ps, which I have been told are worth a few hundred dollars). Most important, however, is getting them quickly as the garage will be demolished in the next couple weeks. Here is the list of available items:
· Chandler & Price 12×18 (likely 1956)
· Chandler & Price 8×12 with motor (likely 1926)
· Hammond Glider Trim Saw
· Guillotine Paper Cutter
· Miehle Vertical letterpress (automatic feed)
· 2 Intertypes
· Power Mitre
I have pictures for those that are interested. I just can’t send them through the listserve.
Thanks,
Kris
