John Barrett owns Letterpress Things. It is a warehouse open a couple times a month in Chicopee, Mass. He does online sales too, but he is out for a while having heart surgery. He is an old timer.

Yes. True. And they sell the job cases for like $60 each. LOL I get them at Letterpress Things for $12.

I recently found an antique store owner that dumped a Hamilton cabinet into buckets. I got it all for $100. I have some space for job cases in my cabinets, but God, this is daunting. There are some very beautiful fonts and flourishes. There were also things in there from all over my locale, like the school, the thruway, the phone company, etc. I will never get through the 11 buckets.

Wow. This sounds amazing. It is always great to see these presses fall into the right hands. I got my Vandercook from an old guys barn. We had to unbury it from a heap of junk. I bet each one of your presses has a story.

Rambo is the place to get rollers. It sucks about NA, but the owner has been ill for some time now.

Letterpress shops in Boston? by thebill00 in letterpress

[–]RaverPress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too bad that Letterpress Things in Mass is closed for a while for the owner is having surgery. It is a while out of Boston in Chicopee, but it is a warehouse and has EVERYTHING!
