I have a lot of metal type that I would like to sell as one lot, as I need the space. I have a green metal cabinet that holds 25 trays of type and a smaller cabinet with I think 5 or so trays of type (the smaller one is not pictured as it is in storage, wrapped up).
The trays are all different, some wood and some metal. Some trays are very very full, some are a little scant. Some of the type is brand spanking new, other fonts are goodness knows how old.
I am trying to find a list of the fonts that are there amongst all the paperwork that was jumbled together in the move. I believe there are several sizes of a wedding script font, gill/gill sans/gill sans bold, palace script, times, gothic, formal script, universe…
Needless to say this is a good size collection. I have seen the wooden type cases without type selling in antique shops for $100.00 a tray, so you could easily split some of this collection up and make more money. I just simply don’t have the time as I run my own business.
I am located in Orange, NSW Australia. I am happy to work with you to find a cheap way to ship this cabinets - when I purchased these a number of years ago it was from another state so I know the challenges!
I am looking for $1200 for the lot. I paid a lot more than this but have never used the type so have decided to let it go to someone who will get more joy out of it than I have.
I am happy to send as many photos as you would like to see, just let me know.
