Seller's description:

30pt Coronet Ludlow Matrices for use with Ludlow Typecaster

This set came direct from Ludlow USA around 25 years ago.  It was purchased as a backup set but I didn't need to use it. I recall it was very expensive to buy!

The typeface is Coronet, which is a pretty italic script face very suitable for social / wedding stationery etc. 

I'm listing it as "used" but I can find no signs of wear and I don't think it's been used, although I've not closely inspected every single letter.  It's certainly in truly great condition, which is rare for such a useful and rare font.

Consists of upper and lower case, figures and punctuation.

Note: Ludlow fonts are intended for use in the Ludlow typecaster to produce high quality lead slugs for letterpress or hot foil use, and they do a great job!

Will be posted via Royal Mail 48hr Tracked Service within 2 working days (usually 1) - UK only.  Or you can collect by arrangement from just north of Derby.

I'm not a trader or dealer, I'm just clearing out my print hobby stuff after many years - no more sentimental hoarding of things!

Sadly, over the years many of these matrices have been disposed of for scrap, but hopefully someone has a good use for this set.  It's rare to find one in this condition.
No returns.

Any questions please just ask - I always respond quickly.

Thanks for looking!
