Half a garbage bag full of wood type that we dug out of the back of a garage in Dayton this weekend. Most of it was built into an elaborate mouse nest. These small caches of wood type still exist!
This is pretty old type, mostly Wm. Page clarendon and clarendon light face 12 line. And this in front, Wm. Page #129, at least one of each upper and lower case ca. 1890’s.

I believe and agree with the concept of objects never being enough. But old metal and wood letter presses certainly come...
