This listing is for one lot of 100 random vintage solid brass metal letterpress print type mats* mixed font/size block letters and numbers like pictured(may not be a complete alphabet or number set, random 100 selected). These print type blocks are loose(not fixed in place) and the letter/number faces measure from approx. 1/4" to 3/4" tall(majority are 1/4" tall) - the last photo contains approx. 3 lots. These blocks are straight out of an old print shop and date back to the 1920's - used in hot foil stamping typography. They are in as found condition with normal wear from age but overall are in good shape. This print type is great for decor, arts & crafts, photography, etc. (especially since the letters/number are all facing the correct direction as apposed to normal letterpress which is reverse) - a great start or addition to any collection. Ask if you have any questions and thank you for looking. MATS* "The Ludlow system uses molds, known as matrices or mats, which are hand-set into a special composing stick. Thus the composing process resembles that used in cold lead type printing. Once a line has been completed, the composing stick is inserted into the Ludlow machine, which clamps it firmly in place above the mold. Hot linecasting metal (the same alloy used in Linotype and Intertype machines) is then injected through the mold into the matrices, allowed to cool, and then the bottom of the slug is trimmed just before it is ejected. The operator then replaces the matrices, or mats, back into the typecase by hand."  - Ludlow Typograph - Wikipedia
