Linotype stamps

[falconew]

When I was up in New York my mom gave me this. It was my dad’s when he was a printer by trade and worked for Syracuse university and kept these one. I have a bunch of linotype lead already melted down he had. These will not be removed. But a beat piece of history.

Those are cool! It’d be an interesting wall hanging.

I ran those machines. I see them in museums now. I gave Jimmy Diresta tips when he picked up a couple of hand fed presses.

Looks like you have a nice little collection there.

It’s actually a drawer he had and it was mounted on the wall. Some cool stuff in there

I have 6 trays of letters from the local paper. Looking to cover them in plexi glass for hanging on the wall.

Also have 300 or so lbs of linotype in ingots.

Thanks for posting those pics. I had no idea what the op meant. I’ve never been near a printing press. I like the Hammer & Sickle stamp.

I'm sort of a fountain pen freak and like to send letters sealed with wax. Every time I'm out antiquing or just browsing around, I'm looking for old wax sealers.........your collection reminds me of those!

There are some pretty neat ones in there. I will take some more. I have to take the plexiglass off and add a few more to it.
