One of my favorite antiques, at any time, would be a vintage printer tray and type set letters ❤️

💥 Mark and I have a few trays & extra wood block letters available if anyone is interested.
They are competitively priced with the current online market at $85 per drawer and $2 per letter.
(The larger wood block size, not the smaller metal ones in the picture)

***************

They are personally very sentimental to me.

My Gramps worked at the Ogden Standard Examiner for over 50 years.

He retired in 1986 as the Mechanical Superintendent of the newspaper.

In an article print about his retirement, the Standard Examiner wrote:

"17,885 editions of the Ogden Standard Examiner rolled off the presses with three things in common, newsprint, ink and Keith Gale" 😁

Those printer trays and typeset letters are special to me because the love of his job, the stories and collecting different trays and small meaningful trinkets, became a family tradition with mom my sister and me.

These are some stock photos that I found on the internet of how they were used during their productive life and also what people collect them for now.

I was quite fascinated at the different things that people collect and the way that they display and use them. SO COOL!!! 😏

I personally have three different trays because I'm very specific about what I collect in each one 😁 It's kind of fun to add to it over the years when you go on vacation or get mementos from a concert or a party or gifts from people.
