counting, but you will see what you get on the close-up photos.
Each character measures 70 mm/2.75 inches.
The height of the type/character is a standard size

have removed some dust but did no full cleaning. However, as you can
see in the photos, the printing blocks are in good condition.
Please observe all photos for the condition of types/characters.
Note:
Now there is no one making wooden letterpress types in India. All
letterpress types foundries shut down a long ago, are doing other
business, and Letterpress-Printers changed printing methods. They are
using other printing technology, including offset printing, digital
printing, etc. unfortunately, mostly letterpress machines and types went
to scrap-dealers and cremated.
Please be sure that we will carefully pack all types/characters. So nothing will hurt the types/characters on transport.
Shipping will be from India to the US and for a lot of other countries.
We will ship thru India Post expedited service Speed-Post or DHL eCommerce.
