I will be going to the foundry about mid June to cast some B-42 fonts, and I won’t be back till the end of July. Buy now to secure the item, but please don’t pay until I return, at which time, I will send you an invoice. Many thanks to all of you that have made purchases over the last year!
ID: This is new metal printing type for letterpress printing; can also be used for hot-stamping.
The type is a 72pt ATF Jenson / Kelmscott Initial "F". This design was originated at the Boston Foundry ca. 1896 and marketed as Jenson, but they are copies of William Morris' Kelmscott wood-engraved initials. Cast by the Dale Guild. You should be able to pic out which initial is listed by looking at the proof of a group of the initials.
There are still 2 complete fonts in stock in my store.
Will combine shpg.
CONDITION: new
PAYMENT: I will contact you shortly after the end of auction, or your can use the payment link in the automated email if using PayPay. M/O, Cashier's check, or personal check is welcomed with 7 day wait. Payment to be recd. within 10 days.
SHIPPING: $4.05 Priority, ($.50 extra for each additional initial until Flat-rate takes over). All packages are sent Priority Mail unless otherwise requested, with Delivery Confirmation at my cost. I take much care in fonting and packing to make sure you receive you type in the condition it left my shop. Insurance is optional, but advised. Will combine metal type auctions/listings to save on shipping. but the most you pay for one or five or ten, is $8.10 (with a few exceptions as noted).
INFO: I have been buying type & etc. for about 20 years, and have more than I will ever use. I'm not a collector, so I'm going to sell off about 2/3rds of my fonts, presses and other letterpress things. I also sell for a few good retired friends that are better acquainted with movable type than computers. I also work part-time at the Dale Guild Tpfy, which is now what remains of ATF. Sometimes there is a little time to cast a few lines of an ornament or two while the caster is hot. These I bring to ebay.
I welcome your questions. Larger pics on request. Please bookmark my seller's list, as I will be listing many rare fonts in the months to come (you can read my "Me" page for more info).Thanks for looking. |
