Printle: A Printing Word Game from Metal Type

Printing Press Letterpress*

Seller's description:

A letter press or pressure press - I am not 100% sure! This was given to me many many years ago and I have never used it. Looking online this is an unusual and rare item, and I hope it finds a good home with someone who values it!

It has been in my attic for many years, so is a little dusty and old, but the pressure/hand roller runs smoothly, and the wooden block (that comes out, see photo) has not got damp or warped over the years. Happy bidding!

Measurements on the photos, but the printing area is A4 plus. If I put an A4 piece of paper on the print bed there is a comfortable gap.

This is a surprisingly heavy item, so collection only from GL11 area in Gloucestershire.
