18 Pt Kaufmann Bold Type + Quads: Set #1 (Only set)

Description: 18 Pt Kaufmann Bold Type + Quads: Set #1 (Only set) – Bonus Pieces HUGE set SHIPPING NOTE: We are happy to combine shipping whenever possible if you purchase multiple items from us!! Put all of the different items in your cart BEFORE paying, and then "request total" from seller - this should be at the top right when you are in your cart before you click on go to checkout. We will combine shipping (if we are able to put everything in the same box) and we will send you an invoice with the correct amount. This way you don't overpay, and we don't have to hassle with refunding your overpaid shipping. If we cannot combine the shipping (if the items will not fit in one box), we will let you know when we send the invoice. RETURN NOTE ON TYPE SETS: If a set is opened and rearranged in any way, we will not accept a return or exchange. You should be able to un-tape just the top cardboard so you can see the complete set without risking anything falling out or apart. Anything rearranged or changed is not eligible for return. If you do need to return a set for any reason, you MUST package it well and tape it very well or it will fall apart in shipment. If it is returned to us not exactly the same as you received it, eBay will void your return. SET #1 (Only set): There are roughly 1110 letters/numbers/symbols in this set (in photos, please see letter chart for reference and example sheet of the type), not including 23 extra quads (various sizes) and bonus pieces (info below). This is the only set of this specific font/typeface of 24 point, we have no more of it. The set of type will be split into two blocks (1of2 and 2of2 in photos) measuring approximately 5 x 4.25” and 5 x 2.75” and will shipped in a medium flat rate box as just this small set weighs over 8.15 lbs and will not safely fit in a small flat rate box. For shipment, each set is tied with string and then taped, and finally sandwiched between thick cardboard with more tape, then brown paper, a Ziplock bag and then bubble wrap. The top will be marked for easier opening. OPEN WITH CAUTION or you will have a pile of type on your floor. BONUS PIECES: We found 19 pieces of Kaufmann Light 18 point (we do not have any more of this typeface), so we are including them with this set. Unfortunately, with this many cases to sort this will happen now and then so we will stick these bonus pieces in a similar set. See photos for details – these bonus pieces are at the VERY end of each block. SET SPECIFIC NOTE: The case containing this set was VERY dusty (not type lice but actual brown dust), but the majority of the pieces look barely used if at all. A thorough bath is needed but will be up to the buyer to handle. The #1 had 5 pieces in the slot, but they don’t look like a #1 to me, it looks like someone took something from another set and placed it in this one. So… there may not be any true #1s for this set. PLEASE review the photos so you can see this, I left the pieces as #1s as they came out of the case. Please see photos for type condition, these were all used previously so there may be flaws, ink or other imperfections. We will add a random number of spacers to make this set as square as possible. Please be aware that working with this many very tiny letters we can make mistakes, there may be a letter off here or there, but we are doing our best! Wikipedia: Kaufmann is the name of a brush script typeface drawn in 1936 by Max R. Kaufmann for the American Type Founders (ATF). The stroke weight is monotone. Uppercase characters are freely drawn, while lowercase letters are more regular in height and width, resembling cursive handwriting. Lowercase characters are close fitting, resulting in the look of a connecting script. Kaufmann is a very popular font in neon signs. All of the type in this listing comes from the printing press that was originally located at Redwood High School in Larkspur, California. We are unsure how many decades the high school had this press or the type, but we believe it dates back to the early 1900s. Our father purchased the press, the cabinets, the drawers, and the type in the 1970s and it has been sitting in storage for over 50 years. We are slowly separating out sets of type for sale. Please see photos for closer details and overall condition. We will list details as accurately as possible, but things can be missed so ask questions before buying if you have any. While our items are described to the best of our ability, they are always sold as-is. PLEASE ask questions - we are happy to provide additional information/photos upon request. These will be shipped in a small priority flat rate box as it is the most economical way to ship them.GENERAL POLICYCOMBINED SHIPPING NOTE: We are happy to combine shipping whenever possible if you purchase multiple items from us!!
