Another Mystery Object

[Dave Hughes]

OK, time for another mystery object.

I'm not going to give any clues on this one, it is quite a rare item.

I do know the answer.

Matrix from a Typograph linecaster?

[Dave Hughes]

Correct Ed, how did you get it?

[Ed Denovan]

I have a friend Patrick Goossens in Antwerp. He has an amazing collection of printing equipment, and has two or three Typographs. Hence I have seen these style matrices in the flesh, as it were. He has some really rare (probably unique) items including a couple of Monoline casters!! Now that has to be the rarest of the rare in Linecasting machines.

Hope to get some pictures to upload when I next visit.

Thanks Ed, sorry there's no prize. Put it down to the economy!

Look forward to receiving the pictures, we could do with some new pics on the site.

You may be surprised to learn that we do have a Monoline picture on the site already:
