Old School Scrabble

Fun with typesetting. These are cast-metal typeset letters, for use with a vintage press. Now, is that an “n” or a “u”?

I have a friend whose father was a typesetter. Digital was a big improvement over this. Nice capture of the details.

My BiL was a printer and I found these blocks fascinating but took up so much room.

that was the hard way, but probably a step up on the previous tech!

The printed word is very rare these days with everything going digital. This is very nostalgic for me.
