ifiwereahoarder:

Contents of old North End printing plant up for auction - The Boston Globe:

Row after row of creaky oak drawers hold thousands of letters, both metal type and wooden blocks, from fine print to 72-point Tudor. A cigar box brims with square block stamps of the city seal. And there are metal etchings of a few of the city’s forefathers, presumably used years ago to print their faces on official documents.

If I were a hoarder (and had money) I would definitely bid on square block stamps of the city seal and maybe also the linotype machines and letter presses…

    Look, I’m not saying I *want* all this stuff. But I wouldn’t mind a few hours alone with it.
