Kingsley Zinc Type |
NA Graphics purchased the inventory of ATF type still on the shelves at the Elizabeth, NJ foundry during the 1993 auction. Included in the thousands of packages of regular metal type is an interesting assortment of Kingsley zinc type that was being held as samples or had not been shipped to Kingsley. ATF was owned by Kingsley and all of Kingsley's zinc type was cast by ATF. Some of this type is quite rare, all is new, and in original packages. Zinc type is cast for hot foil stamping as it can stand fairly high temperatures and it should not be used mixed with regular type used in regular letterpress printing. |
