Hi all and thanks for all the support that's come by email and by phone!

HOW TO ORDER:

I'm asking for orders that need to be shipped, to print out my order form and either fax with credit card authorization or mail a cheque (made out to DHP Papermill & Press) or postal money order (preferred and made out to Marie-Celeste Edwards). Once payment is received and cleared, the order will ship either by UPS or USPS. I will give you the rate prior to shipping whenever feasible for your emailed approval. I ask though that on the order form you write that packing and shipping is "TBD" (to be determined). On orders going by USPS, my packing charge for small packages is only $2 above postage but on boxed orders, USPS or UPS, my packing charge is usually $5 over actual shipping/mailing cost. If shipping within NY state, SALES TAX does apply!

Squeegee for either clean-up or use out of the Gocco Printer, $1

Two Gocco pens, $4 each

This is an old mould and deckle with all slats intact. Frame work and deckle are in excellent condition, just needs to be resurfaced. The deckle opening is 17 3/4" x 23 3/4" on this one

$300

ON HOLD pending payment

The mould on this one is missing two of the slats on the ends. I may have them but I haven't been able to find them as of yet. The deckle opening is 17 5/8" x 22 5/8". Still in excellent, sturdy condition and obviously, needs resurfacing.

$225

This is the main mould/deckle I use for my production. The deckle I had to make myself because the original couldn't be saved so you'll need to make a new one -- it works for me and what I do, but may not work for you. I rescreened this myself but again, works for me, may not for you. The deckle opening is currently 18 1/2" x 24 1/4" (roughly). I have LOADS of Artcore interior deckles cut to various shapes/sizes that go with this. $175 obo. ON HOLD pending payment

Same as above for this mould/deckle. This size is 23" x 31". Again, has worked for me for years but you'd probably want to make a new deckle for this one too. $200 obo

This type cabinet must be sold as is, complete, with the fonts inside, unless you have your own cases and are willing to transfer the type. The reason is, this is a "complete" cabinet with the cases that were originally made for this cabinet (they aren't a standard size, a little smaller). It has a slanted top. 21 cases in all, some are open for storage of cuts.

The fonts in this include: Meridien Medium 10 pt; Caslon Swash and Italic 24 pt; Garamond Bold Italic 18 pt; Stymie Extra Bold 36 pt; a few sizes in Brush Script; Grayda 30 pt; News U 12 pt; Murray Hill Bold 24 and 30 pt; Outline Gothic 18/24.

There are several cases full of misc things like flags, dingbats, odds and ends -- here's the great part: ALL SORTED! (there were advantages to having interns!)

The whole cabinet with contents of cases for $750 obo

I have had a few inquiries about selling individual sets of type from this cabinet and I will, but you must be willing to bring your type case and spend the time to transfer the type into your case.

Look what you can do when you think creatively. Start with a kitchen baker's rack, add some wooden frames with screening stapled across them and voila! A drying rack for prints. $125.00 obo.

Brass rule in case $75 (left on top image then the close-up in the photo to the right). Has a mix of other rule, some decorative in the case

Case of the leads and slugs $45

Close up of the case with the brass rule in it (with others mixed in) $75

Galleys of leads and slugs, each galley for $40. The one in the middle is gone.

Loads of uncut rule, some decorative

A collection of composing sticks. The ones that are in the best condition are obvious in the picture, others have some surface rust (like E). One steel one (I think), B.

A: SOLD
B: $22
C thru E: $18 ea
F: SOLD
G: $18 SOLD
H: $35
I: SOLD
J: $22 ea

Hand held slug cutter. Some surface rust in spots but used regularly and cuts cleanly.

$40

This is an incomplete font but maybe you have this and need some more letters?

$10

Haven't had a chance to sort this to figure out if it's complete or not. As is, $10.

Spartan $90 for all of them

Brass type $60. I do have a couple of other small plastic cases this size with some other unidentified type but not sure what metal those are. I think I was told magnesium when I first purchased them. I don't have my size guide to confirm the point size but the base is 24pt.

$20 for the box (only one box)

Two sizes, same font. Both trays for $35

I think this is one of the ones that's magnesium type. Again, not sure on this. Also, don't have my size guide, sorry. $18.00

Tray of italic type. $18.00 This looks to be 14pt and it's only caps with punctuation. No lowercase or numbers.

Hobo, $18

Two storage trays of spaces. Both for $30

The famous wooden "Pottery Barn Book Press" that was all the rage about 7 years ago. $70

Unusual book press $150

The foil stamper, on a ground stand, $350 with one type holder (in photo) ON HOLD pending payment

It's going to be soooooo much work photographing covers of books and itemizing them all and I will get to it one of these days but I have a lot of books on printmaking (left), papermaking and bookbinding. If there's something on this particular shelf ;-) that you're interested in, email me. If it's a book that's still in print that I have on the shelf that I also bought new, I'll be asking for 1/3 to 1/2 of the normal retail price. Most of the books that I purchased new are in very good condition.

Sold are: The Updike 2 volume set, the wood type catalogue and the Pressroom Problems; Letterpress and American Metal Typefaces are sold too.

Below are some of the books and printed ephemera that I have. I still have LOADS yet to photograph and post herein. They are in the condition in which I found them but once here, they were at least protected from further damage. I should point out that in many cases, these are thin, simple pamphlet-stitched booklets.
