I have looked over the groups and Ive tried to get enough variety that you get an entire alphabet, but there is not guarantee.This came to me in a 40 lb box and it was all mixed so trying to separate by font and letter or number and symbol has become next to impossible. Several of my artists buyers have concurred with me and thinks this is the way to go with all this wonderful letterpress.This is vintage letterpress and comes from a closed printing shop.This group weighs close to two pounds and will be shipped by flat rate priority. The box measures 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches.I have 40 lbs currently so let me know if you need more than one group.You will be purchasing a group similar to the listing pictures. Please note the number of pieces of font will vary depending on the size available. I will also be sending along spacers for you and some very small pieces of type so you can have a variety of ways to arrange your letterpress. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=769696 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:12:04 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=463290 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=463290"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/1906_product_1463385645_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Two Tags in ListingThese are retired, vintage tool box tags.

From a gentleman's collection who has traveled all over the world, these were purchased from his estate. Forty - five lightweight silver coins in this listing, its a mixed group from across the world. Your coin group will be extremely similar to this group but not exactly. I'm utilizing the same scans since i have so many coins to list. Disclaimer : I don't know the first thing about coin collection, I purchased these because they are from all over the world and I thought they were pretty cool. You may get a coin that is worth quite a bit of money, I wouldn't know and really that is your business. I'll be listing these until all 30 pounds are gone ! If you would like a certain group or have someting of interest, just ask me and I'll look for you. I can't look for a single coin but I could look for certain motifs. This group dates anywhere from 1970 - 1995. I looked at most of the dates as i was pulling them out. Majority of these are from the 70's and 80's and I didn't seperate the 90's from the group. You will want to clean them a bit, they are a little dirty. I'm going to list these as vintage supplies as I think these will really be used more for jewelry than for collecting. International Buyers : Please check your countries rule about recieving foreign money before making the purchase. If I can not ship these to your country and you purchase in advance without checking, then I will only refund your purchase price, less the paypal fees. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=344186 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:13:22 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=344168 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=344168"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/1906_product_339944597_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Super for all your altered art and jewelry projects, collages and just for fun.

It was a dime a try and if you missed the animal then you could try for a ring. The guys would try and try to get a ring for their girls, since these were actually sized and not a once size fits all or a squeeze to adjust ring. ! Most of the rings were brass with their little glass stones but sometimes a guy could actually get a sterling ring. These rings sold for $1.00 a piece at the jewelry store so trying to get one for a dime was a real bargain. I have these rings in several sizes and you can pick your size. The stone color may vary but i've tried to list the color of stone I have with the size. While it is great that these are sized and can fit your finger, please remember they are from the early 1900's and hands might have been a bit smaller. Also they are not meant to be worn every day. These rings are hard to find and sought after by carnival collectors. I just happened upon these at an auction that was selling out a carnival warehouse closed in the 60's. Send me the size you need in a message.
