I too may be interested. I assume that you are in Gardner, IL, south of Joliet???????

My interested lies in acquiring equipment and materials for the Printers’ Hall letterpress museum in Mt. Pleasant, IA.

I am always looking for display type. I do have time to re-sort it if it comes to me by the pound. As I do book titling, small quantities also work. It would need to be mailed. Useful sizes are 18 point and up.

Hi, I am interested in information on your Babcock press, realizing your post is from 2007. We have a Babcock but would like to know more about these presses. Thanks!
