metal type - a photo on Flickriver

metal type

            Here is some 30 pt. Gill Sans metal type that I bought for cheap* on eBay. All of the lower case letters are present, plus numbers, punctuation, and some ligatures. What I am going to do with these letters is something I haven't figured out.

*It was the shipping that hurt, since they were mailed from England.
