    WTS Linotype Bargain

    In and out of hospital for past 6 months with more to come. I will be disposing my casting, reloading, and gunsmithing items here first. This may take several weeks [months ?] Offering now some linotype as follows. All in small flat rate boxes.
    1. 10 lb. all small letters = $18.00 shipped

    2. 91/2 lb. small letters + 1/2 lb. spacers = $18.00 shipped

    3. 13 lb. spacers = $21.00 shipped

    4. 22 lbs. in Ingots =35.00 shipped

    SOLD to Marcduper

    If you wanted all 4 boxes @ 55 lbs. the price is $68.00 shipped

    THANKS for looking, Larry

    For those of us that are ignorant about different types of Linotype, what’s the difference between letters and spacers as far as content?

    Uh-Oh, Brass. Someone beat you to it

    If I wasn't posting on a different thread I'd have taken it all for that price.

    Normally no difference. I packed this way to get as much into SFRB as possible.

    There are thin metal spacers that go between lines of letters to space out lines that can vary a bit more as to alloy. There are square spacers that take up space between words just like a letter, and typically the same alloy as the letters. Often linotype spacers will be same alloy as linotype but can be less or more rich in alloy.

    small letters - if individual letters this would probably be richer alloy than linotype (lines of type vs. single letters). Making the price an especially good deal.

    Best of luck to you largrom in the hospital and out.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.
