Put all of the different items in your cart BEFORE paying, and then "request total" from seller - this should be at the top right when you are in your cart before you click on go to checkout. We will combine shipping (if we are able to put everything in the same box) and we will send you an invoice with the correct amount.

RETURN NOTE ON TYPE SETS: If a set is opened and rearranged in any way, we will not accept a return or exchange. You should be able to un-tape just the top cardboard so you can see the complete set without risking anything falling out or apart. Anything rearranged or changed is not eligible for return. If you do need to return a set for any reason, you MUST package it well and tape it very well or it will fall apart in shipment. If it is returned to us not exactly the same as you received it, eBay will void your return. USED/AS-IS DISCLAIMER: Please review the photos (with zoom) for condition and count prior to bidding. To avoid any issues, please read the FULL description of what we are selling and do not bid if it is not fully understood. Some or all of the characters may be faulty or damaged. This type is being sold as-is and uncleaned used condition. This type is OLD, characters may have nicks, scratches, dents, breaks, oxidation, corrosion, and layered ink, etc. Again, to avoid any issues, do not bid if this is not fully understood. ONLY SET: SEE SET SPECIFIC NOTE BELOW - There are roughly 955 letters/numbers/symbols in this set (in photos, please see letter chart for reference and example of the type), not including 19 extra quads/spacers to square the set. Please see the chart showing what type is included in this set, there are NO lowercase letters - These sets never had lowercase, they are all uppercase, numbers & symbols. The block of type measures approximately 3 x 5” and is best shipped in a small flat rate box as just this small set weighs over 3.15 lbs. See photos for how we wrap these for shipment, each set is tied with string and then taped, and finally sandwiched between thick cardboard with more tape, then brown paper, a Ziplock bag and then bubble wrap. The top will be marked for easier opening. OPEN WITH CAUTION or you will have a pile of type on your floor.SET SPECIFIC NOTE: We are guessing on the typeface sub number, we have MANY 12 point Light Copperplate Gothic typefaces available so look at our other listings to see the difference. We are calling this set Number 5 but we may have it wrong, this 12 point typeface comes in four different faces so please ask questions, look at the photos, and review the other listings for this typeface. When I measure the typeface letters in this set, they appear to measure about at an 8pt, but the body is still 12pt. The majority of pieces in this set look completely unused.Copperplate Gothic is a Frederic Goudy / ATF typeface from 1901. This typeface is intended for headings and accent words and not main body text. This typeface is regularly used for business cards and stationery headings.Please see photos for type condition, these were all used previously so there may be flaws, ink or other imperfections. We will add a random number of spacers to make this set as square as possible. Please be aware that working with this many very tiny letters we can make mistakes, there may be a letter off here or there, but we are doing our best! We will only be listing two sets for this font/type, be sure to look at ALL of the photos for the set information in each listing.All of the type in this listing comes from the printing press that was originally located at Redwood High School in Larkspur, California. We are unsure how many decades the high school had this press or the type, but we believe it dates back to the early 1900s. Our father purchased the press, the cabinets, the drawers, and the type in the 1970s and it has been sitting in storage for over 50 years. We are slowly separating out sets of type for sale. Please see photos for closer details and overall condition. We will list details as accurately as possible, but things can be missed so ask questions before buying if you have any. While our items are described to the best of our ability, they are always sold as-is. PLEASE ask questions - we are happy to provide additional information/photos upon request. These will be shipped in a small priority flat rate box as it is the most economical way to ship them.
