Kelsey, Craftsmen, Two Goldings, other equipment too!

I’m cleaning out a storage unit packed with letterpress stuff. All located in an easily accessible, ground-level, drive-up unit in Hamilton, NJ, one minute off Interstate 295 or five minutes from route 1 (address: 3540 Quakerbridge Road, Hamilton, NJ). The items will be pick up only, as most things are simply too heavy for me to crate and ship.

Items for Sale:
SOLDSOLD Kelsey Model U 5x8 tabletop press: $750 obo - Press is in great shape, but needs its rollers re-covered. Cores, trucks, and 1 chase included. I’ll also throw in two unopened boxes of type, one caps, one lower, of the same font in 30 point (.41”), and a can of rubber-based ink with the sale, to get you up and running right away.

Craftsmen 6x10 tabletop press: $1,500 obo - Side-arm press, very similar to the Chandler and Price Pilot. Press is in great shape, but needs its rollers re-covered. Cores, trucks, and 1 chase included. I’ll also throw in two unopened boxes of type, one caps, one lower, of the same font in 30 point (.41”), and a can of rubber-based ink with the sale, to get you up and running right away.

SOLDSOLD Golding Pearl – 7x11 New Style with motor: $2,000. This press is a champ. Fairly new rollers and a replacement leather drive belt included. Built on a cart with wheels for easily moving around the shop. Medium-weight press.

SOLDSOLD Golding Jobber #7 10x15 platen press: $1,200 obo – Motor-driven delight with a variable speed motor that uses a foot-pedal speed control. Two chases included. Rollers in medium shape. Should probably be recovered if you’re going to be doing detail work. This is a WONDERFUL press from 1886, with some of the most amazingly artful, beautifully curved castings in the land of letterpress. This machine is a true workhorse, with the perfect design that keeps the platen open longer than it’s closed, giving the press operator additional time while maximizing production. The folks at Golding engineered this press phenomenally, and the impression strength is exceptional. I printed tickets on this press for a few years, and it’s a dream to work with. Please be aware this press is a heavy press, and you’ll need a vehicle to accommodate its transport. I’m happy to help you with what seems to work pretty well. I already have this press on a pallet that can easily hold it and have a pallet jack in the storage unit.

19” Paper Cutter: $350 obo – Blade on the cutter is in decent shape, with spare blade included. Cutter sits on legs, but can be separated for ease of transport.

Flat Files (1): $275 – Perfect for storing plates and paper. 16 drawer and fits paper 21x31.

Corner Rounder: $250 obo
