    3. I have a great deal of this press type as well as the original type set press that I need to sell quickly. I’m located in Ohio. To purchase it you would have to come and pick it up. I have found it very difficult to find buyers for these treasures. If you are a seriously interested buyer, please contact me at natalie.harrington@hotmail.com. Thank you.

    6. This is in regards to my post about having type and a press in a previous note. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who where interested. Fortunately, the type and press found a wonderful home at a non-profit printing, paper making, and book making conservatory in Cleveland called the Morgan Conservatory. Thus, I no longer have the equipment. Thank you. Natalie
