I’m getting out of the letterpress business (never quite got rolling with it) and selling my Craftsman table top press & equipment. It comes with the original 6.5”x10” chase, and the rollers are in great condition. It says Craftsman Machinery Co. Canada on the press.
Along with the press I have:
~ a wooden furniture tower stocked full with various sized wood furniture, as well as a box of misc furniture.
~ a galley cabinet with all of the trays
~ 5 drawers of lead type ( 36pt Coronet, 24pt Perpetua, 24pt Coronet, 12pt Invitation, 30pt Commercial script, Garamont..not sure of pt size, and two empty drawers)
~misc accessories: pica ruler, 4 quoins & keys, composing stick, lots of tympan paper, gauge pins.
~ Linocut blocks and supplies for printing, including ink, brayer, and knives
~ a box of extra lead
~ slug cutter
~ a large guillotine paper cutter on a table base for cutting parent sheets.
~ letterpress printing books
~ Misc: oil, scrappers, cleaning, etc…

Everything is in great condition, and I have owned the press for the last three years. I had plans to run my own little printing business, but have chosen other ventures, so I am looking for a good home for all of this amazing equipment.
I’m asking $2400 for the lot or best offer.
I’m Located in South Central Wisconsin, and prefer someone who can pick up on location. I do not currently have an image of the guillotine cutter at the moment, as it is in storage in my garage, but can get one if necessary.
