Buying extra spacers
Anybody know a source for extra 24-point .069” and 36-point .083” spacers, without having to buy a complete set of assorted sizes? I could use about 100 of each.

John Barrett at Letterpress Things (www.letterpressthings.com) sells type spacing by the pound…but you’d have to tell him what you’re looking for in printer’s terms. Are those 3-em spaces? 5-ems?
I am assisting an elderly printer who is disposing of his entire letterpress shop.
He has unopened packages of spaces in 24 pt and 36 pt. (and most other sizes).
Let me know if you have not found a source.
