Linotype Model
In the movie Feild of Dream, when Kevin Costner goes to the newspaper office to find out more information about an old ballplayer, there is a Linotype in the background. Is it a Rangemaster?

I saw the movie but did watch closely.I do have a Model 35 Rangemaster (mixer) that still operates and has the Mohr saw, quadder and wide mags on it. I’ll watch the movie again.
It appears around the 44 minute mark.
Looks like a model 8 to me.
Trying to attach again…

Thanks, old newspaper offices like this one and kids playing baseball are a thing of the past. The internet has replaced both.
Having a another look, I’d say it is a Model 31 with 4 mags.
Having another look, I’d say it is a Model 31 with 4 mags., no quadder or saw.
