I recently purchased the old print stock of a long closed Indiana print shop. Check back from time to time as I will be listing loads of old alpha numeric print stock of all sizes and styles as well as stock of company logos, illustrations etc etc. As always I will combine purchases to save on shipping for items that end the same day. Here is a lot of 2 5/8" high, (1 7/8" wide more or less depending on letter) wooden letter print blocks. The "A" letters are partially stamped "Wm. H. Page & Co. Greeneville, Ct." (Uneven sides so complete name not shown). Page went through several transformations but were located in Greeneville from 1857 to 1869, so this should date these blocks to that time period. 82 pieces all together. Includes every letter EXCEPT THE LETTER "B" plus every number.  They appear to be maple on a 3/4" thick block of hard wood.  Letter quantities as follows: A-3,B-None,C-2,D-2,E-4,F-2,G-2,H-2,I-2,J-2,K-1,L-4,M-2,N-3,O (or zero)-7,P-2,Q-1,R-3,S-4,T-3, U-2,V-2,W-1,X-1,Y-2,Z-1 plus 1 "&" and 2 different "!" and 2 "$". Numbers include 1-two, 2-three, 3-one, 4-two, 5-two, 6 or 9-four, 7-one, 8-two, 9-see "6", zero-see "O".  Please note I have not taken the time to clean these off and am therefore offering free domestic shipping. Good condition as further described above.  Please make payments withing 24 hours, thank you. Check out my many other listings on eBay. Will combine purchases to save on shipping on items ending on the same day. (To benefit from combined shipping savings you must wait for me to send you an invoice. Invoices usually sent out later in the day the auction ends.)             I take packaging very seriously. I have no formal return policy and as such eBay demands clear and accurate descriptions. If an item is received and is significantly different than described I will work with you towards a satisfactory outcome for you. Do not return an item without my prior approval.  I ship within 3 working days but usually sooner. Review my feedback and ask questions, thanks. International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. All shipping fees are firm.  
Condition Used :
An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or store return that has been used. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.
Seller Notes ALL LETTERS THERE EXCEPT THE "B". Good solid condition, maybe a hairline crack in a couple, no other splits, chips, dents or excess wear. I HAVE NOT CLEANED THESE LIKE I HAVE THOSE I HAVE SOLD IN THE PAST, SO THEY DO HAVE SOME OLD INK DUST. SO I AM OFFERING FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING. EASY TO CLEAN WITH SPRAY CLEANER AND NYLON BRUSH.
