Letterpress Type and Intial/Monogram Sets for Sale!

I’m giving up type hoarding and selling off the typefaces that I don’t use. Some were pied and are in the process of being sorted, others are still in the drawer. I’m glad to get them on end so you can examine the faces if you tell me which you’re interested in. Many of these I received with a cabinet and so far they have all been complete sets. Sorted are $45 each, Unsorted are $25 each + $5.95 shipping. Here’s what I have:
