We received a gift in the mail from one of our followers in New Jersey of some assorted wood type.

If you have been following along our longer videos, you’ll know that we sometimes receive in the mail quite a few gifts for Jared, Howard, and our print shop. Social media has connected us with people from all over the world and we sometimes get wonderful gifts from followers. We recently received a package in the mail from one of our followers, Cooper in New Jersey. In this video, Howard opened the box containing a an assortment of wood type (an I, P, and an S), a question mark, and a piece that would have been used to print a large calendar. At the end, Howard printed these with blue rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. We are incredibly thankful for this gift and it is a wonderful addition to our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum. #unboxing #typography #history #museum #sacramento #letterpress #printingpress #printing #oldsacramento #sachistorymuseum #asmr #printmaking #printshop #ytshorts #shortsvideo #youtubeshorts #shorts ​⁠
