Includes a set of 8 point Edinburgh, 10 point Edinburgh, 14 point Elizabethan, 12 point Elizabethan, one set of unidentified type (larger, probably 24 point, probably either Elizabethan or Edinburgh); all of these sets are brass, cut in England by P and S Engraving. Lot also includes a set of metal type, and a combination of metal and brass quads and spacers in 10 point, 30 point, 12 point, 24 point, 8 point, and 14 point. This lot represents an incredible value for any bookbinder or anyone interested in bookbinding. These sets of brass type cost between $500 and $800 when new (for each set.)

Good condition overall. Most pieces show light wear only. Sold as-is.
