Type & Equipment Extravaganza was a success
Bill Whitley
The Type Sale Extravaganza on Oct. 31st – Nov.1st was a success – as evidenced by the happy folks shown here, carrying away some more wood type. For some reason we had more customers on Friday than Saturday, even though Friday was Halloween. A steady stream of enthusiastic printers and “going-to-be” printers spent time going through hundreds of cases and gallies to find treasures in wood and lead type. Cuts, furniture, tools, and even some presses made their way to new homes across New England.
If you couldn’t make it that weekend, or would like to come back for more, we still have the rooms set up; so any time the Museum is open, drop on by and see if there is something you can’t live without. We still have a couple of presses, some small cutters, and a large selection of type at $2 per pound – (though there is some lead type reasonably priced by the case or galley). Come on down, and help us get the lead out.
