From brian at artisanprinter.com
I am retiring and closing my letterpress business.
I want to pass my printing equipment on to someone who will cherish it and continue to print in the legacy of Johannes Gutenberg.
My commercial shop has an assortment of presses and equipment, including:
- a rare Gietz Model 60 fine-art platen press with 0.928 type-high metal type;
- Hohner tabletop 9×12.5 inch platen press
- 1850s Albion iron handpress, 18×24 inch platen
- Miehle Vertical V-50 automated-feed cylinder press, plus an identical parts press
See the various tabs for photos and inventories.
My Book collection, built over 40 years, is also for sale.
I have about 450 books about printing history, letterpress, typography, type design, books about books, bookbinding. You may find the lists of book under the tab “Book Collection.”
I also prefer to sell them as a single unit, but if that turns out not to be viable, I’ll entertain the idea of selling them in groups or singly. Check in August about that.
I prefer to sell the shop’s equipment as a single unit – basically a complete turn-key print shop. If interested, send me an email message and tell me a little bit about yourself, your work, and how you might use my equipment.
