Message from Rob:
My sincere thanks for putting me up on the internet; if there is any
hope of this equipment remaining in production, this would be it.
Our shop is in North Florida about 30 miles south of
Jacksonville. My father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were
country weekly publishers in Florida from 1875 to 1948 and I first
learned to be a letterpress printer in the 1960's. All this
equipment has been in production (some still is) and has been in
climate control since the '50's.
Per your request I am sending additional photos of the typecases, the
MILES-NERVINE HEART CURE proof press (these were swapped with country
weekly papers for a year of free advertising), and a gas-fired smelter
used for pouring cuts from paper mats and for re-melting lino metal
into pigs.
