For over 15 years I have bought these from printers (usually ones closing down) as they are suitable for blocking lines between type,lesser designs, etc.. I usually sell these per each although I've also sold “assorted” parcels of blocks on eBay.

I have bought nothing for 3 1/2 years and my aim now is to be clear of this activity by the end of 2010. There is about a drawer full of blocks, trays of line (plain and fancy), made up sets of letter spacers, trays of line spacer, quoins and quoin keys. There used to be 35 (once over 100) sets of type but they have now all gone.

If you are after any of these items, please send me a snail mail address and I'll send you my (rather incomplete) catalogues. These don’t include such blocks as an aeroplane in plan and another side on, freemason’s symbol, etc, so if you have particular needs or interests let me know what they are and I’ll see if I can help.

Thanks.-

For over 25 years a colleague of mine has been collecting and dealing in hand printing machinery and bookbinding machinery and equipment. He now has 5000 sq ft of stock which includes such things as proofing press's and older antique printing machinery such as Albion and Columbian printing press's. It includes bookbinding lying press's, percussion press's, nipping press's. standing press's, gluing machines, board cutters, finishing press's and sewing frames as well as various gold blocking machines, he has book sewing machines as well as a considerable stock of materials.

Normally my colleague restores equipment and machinery, he is well known within the trade for this, but he now wants to clear some of the unrestored equipmnent he has.

All of the equipment concerned is in an unrestored condition, just as it was when it left the bindery or printing works. We promise the equipment is working but it may have evidence of rust or need of painting or general cleaning.

Because of this we will be asking UNDER INFLATED FAIR PRICES for the equipment.

To give you an example, a completely restored Marshall 5a gold blocking machine was recently offered for sale at only ÂŁ1300.00 Those with experience will recognise one of the most desirable gold blocking machines, not only that but rare.

Here is a link where you can see the quality of the restoration work he did. http://www.edenworkshops.com/5a/5a.htm

I will shortly be adding pages to our site to promote the sale of this stock.

Obviously though the amount of equipment and machinery is considerable, it is very much a finite resource, we expect a strong reaction when this sale of equipment is made public through our site.

I advise anyone to act quickly.

If you have any questions I would be happy to hear from you.

You can mail me at richard.norman@aliceadsl.fr

Thank you.

Richard

P.S. The equipment is based in the UK

P.P.S. We are able to ship overseas.
