Seeking info about Greg Peterson/Huckleberry Press
I’m interested in finding him if he is still alive — his press was registered in the International Register of Private Press Names in 1982, so he’s been around a while. He had one of only three Italian-made hand presses known to be in North America. If you have any info please contact me direct.
You mean this gentleman?

I don’t know — I’ll see if I can contact him and find out, but the other Huckleberry Press was in existence in 1983. And that sure is a peculiar-looking Hoe iron hand press in the logo!

It looks to me like it is now run by Greg’s son. And yes, that press in the current logo is certainly no Hoe! But look at the work shown on the main page- pieces printed by Greg Peterson and John Balkwill on a Vandercook in 1989. How could this not be your man?
Let us know what you find!

Dan, it looks like you are right. I’ve written them for more info — I hope I’ll hear back soon. But it does appear that it’s the same person’s shop. Thanks for the heads up.
