Wood type collection

Following is a list of our wood type. We've obtained it from a variety of sources including eBay, LetPress listserv, Briar Press, Museum of Printing in Andover, MS, talking to friends, visiting antique stores, etc.

We are currently working on a way to do high quality, new wood type cut by a CNC router in endgrain Rock Maple. Our first tests were stunning. Not sure we can do it at an affordable price, but we are going to try. If you think you MIGHT be interested in buying new wood type, please let us know to help encourage us.

The list below tends to be fonts where we have fairly complete set of characters. Additionally we have hundreds of 'orphan' letters, which we keep sorted by letter.
