Wood Type
This entire weekend I spent at the museum, sorting out the wood type (50+ letter cases). It took me some time to find all missing pieces and organize everything alphabetically. But I had a great fun!
What a fantastic collection! Wow 50 cases, I've a way to go to reach that total ;o) If they have a makers stamp you'll find it usually only on the letter ‘A’ then all you need is a specimen book, easier said than done! Have fun ;D
Thank you for your advice!! Now I know where to look (I hope the stamp will still be there:). I'm still searching a specimen book at the museum… but I fear there is none.
