Gauge Pins Needed ASAP in the San Francisco Area! DESPERATE!!

Im having a bit of a letterpress emergency. All of my gauge pins were somehow misplaced and I have a print job this weekend that needs to go out. I am working on a C& P platen, anyone know where I can pick up some Gauge Pins in the area? Im In Redwood City so anywhere from there to San Francisco would be awesome. Thanks for your help!!

Paper gauge pins can help too! Use card stock and make a set, then get to printing.

you can also use a 10 or 12 point quad , works great. Dick G.

You might try contacting Steve Robison (of the SFLetterpress list) since he’s just up the road from you in Belmont; he’s a very helpful guy and I’m pretty sure he’d have some gauge pins. Or Hicks Brothers, in the city. Or, if you don’t mind heading south, I’m in San Jose and could probably find some for you.
