Description

THIS ITEM IS ON HOLD. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE UNLESS YOU ARE THE ETSY MEMBER IT'S ON HOLD FOR. THANK YOU!

This is quite simply a gorgeous antique collectible.
The typeset is lovely and
very old.

The letters and symbols would have had to have been
hand-stamped
(compared to newer antique letter blocks
that would have gone into a printing press).

Includes a full upper and lower case alphabet.
Full set of numbers and symbols, including the ampersand,
exclamation point,
cent sign, and a large word "And."

The wooden carrying box for this typeset was handmade.
Two slots sit to the right of the characters where the ink pads
would have been placed.

There are many scratches and ink marking on this box,
though the construction is excellent, keeping the
box in sturdy condition.

The box measures 14.5" long x 7" deep x 1.5" high.

I will ship this item internationally, though it would need to be sent through USPS Express Mail with tracking & insurance. Please send me a convo for the exact shipping cost to your country.
