h berthold berlin brass lining for printing
« on: February 19, 2014, 06:42:48 am »
Wooden box full off brass linings for printing . But Berthold is to find but nothing so far about his factory and products . Would like some similar items to value these I own . And age off this set would be nice also off course .  Heavy box and more then 5 kilograms .

Date - I'd say around 1870-1880.

Value - Quite often printing blocks are fairly cheap, but this is one of those pioneer companies and it looks quite an attractive set. Could be a couple of hundred pounds but it's something i'd research more before valuing properly.
