Type Case

Yesterday (being Sunday) we went and got one of the type cases. There is so much type; I'm not sure how much of it I'll be able to sort, and what I'll take to someone for melt-down value. Unexpectedly found some hell-type too...broken serifs, etc.

I'd really like to get a set of Centaur or Bell from the Bixler type foundry; that way I know exactly what I've got. The guess work is difficult; even though the cases are labeled, it's under a different filing system than the california job case--so I've either got to spend time reorganizing, or learn a new system. Reorganization is probably going to win out on that one.

I've also got a lot of new, unused type that I'm going to try to sell. Lots of early 1900s typefaces from ATF... might find some people who are interested. Antiques?
