Hi,

I am new here. Since I am living in asia, letterpress is scarce and non-existence. I am interested in getting a couple of full specimen print proofs of the typefaces (samples attached). Any help is very much appreciated.

Best Regards,
Johney

Hi Johney,

I think that we would ALL like that!!!!! I don’t think that anyone would be lucky enough to have complete specimen samples. I can tell you that No.211 has been made available digitally by Rich Kegler’s P22 Foundry.

I should also mention that No.447 was offered by Stan Harris and his son until the last fonts were sold a year or so ago.

Thank you for the information Rick. I did check up P22, it seems they offer quite a number of Hamilton woodtypes digitally but not No.211 as I can’t seem to find it in P22’s site…
although they did have a chromatic type called “HWT American”.
