Kelsey 5x8 Model U

I’m selling my adorable Kelsey 5x8 platen letterpress. It’s in excellent condition. Fresh rollers + extra 4 roller cores. It comes with loads of extras: 4 chases, LOTS of lead type – some so “new” that they’re still sealed in their original boxes. A box full of quoins with 1 key. Also comes with red board and a pack of tympan. And some leading and miscellaneous bits and ends. Loads of letterpress stuff! Great starter press!

Lead Type included:

18pt Lombard Initals
6pt Cooper Medium
14pt Beacon Hill
18pt Script
12pt Beacon Hill
12pt Stymie Bold
6pt Copper Bold
10pt Bodoni Classic
8pt Bondoni Classic
6pt Bodoni Classic

+ 4 handmade trays of type that I’ve never unwrapped (mystery fonts) – I peeked and saw an @ and some fractions too. Pretty neat!

I haven’t used this press in years and I’d love to see it go to a good home. Located in Belleville, ON, Canada. Pick up only.

Asking $1950 for all of it.
