Rebirth!!

Wow! A Ludlow! I have never seen one in person, only on Youtube. How exciting!

The last time I visited Crayton -Heritage Letterpress, they had a Linotype, possibly two, that needed a new home. Not sure what model it is, but you might want to get in touch – http://heritageletterpress.com/. Space is definitely the issue! If I had the space, it would have come home with me in a heartbeat.

Hi Ladies,

  Thanks for responding. I’ve got two Ludlow composing sticks coming from eBay; however, sadly, heritage press is a continent away. A few years ago I rode a motorcycle from home (65 miles north of Seattle) to N. Carolina–it’s a huge Country, and I just can’t imagine how I would get a Lino all the way out here. Shipping would be prohibitive, as would driving. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have an interconnecting web of letterpress people who could move equipment by stages from Point “A” to Point “B”? Or perhaps there is a business to be made out of making loops of the Country, picking up and dropping off equipment? Hmmm…..food for thought. Anyway, thanks again for responding.
