I closed up the studio in the spring, but I have a little remaining inventory that I want to make sure you know about, before it's gone. There are some holiday cards (Snow Angels are gone - sorry!) and Autograph cards, as well as letterpress broadside prints and a few Books of Days perpetual calendars. Everything is in my Etsy shop - enjoy! https://www.etsy.com/shop/campbellrawpress

It's been a busy summer, clearing out the studio and starting on a new path! Letterpress poetry broadsides will continue to be available for sale at least through the end of 2018, and I have a variety of cards and books still available through our website - http://www.campbellrawpress.com

In the meantime, both of our letterpresses are for sale, both in terrific shape - the Vandercook 4-T is $15,000 and the Golding Official No. 4 is $2750 (with the most beautiful Mission-style stand you ever did see!). Both are in Brooklyn and I'm happy to talk details, if you're interested! https://www.ebay.com/itm/263763736709

1915 Golding Official No. 4 tabletop letterpress

(Manufactured Approx. 1919) • $2750

- Serial No. 2412
- This press is in good working order, and has a beautiful custom- built mission-style stand (made by my dad, Craig Campbell) on locking casters, with 2 pieces of removable marble ballast on the base - the marble area makes a great bookshelf for heavy oversized books! (Books shown not included)
- The press is mounted to the stand with 4 easily removable bolts and the whole unit can be moved by someone who has decent upper body strength - the press is about 100 or 125 pounds and has handles for carrying so that one person can move it. It takes two people to move the base if you're doing stairs - it's maybe 75?
- The press is in ready-to-print condition and has rollers in good shape, as well.
- Includes: 6" x 9" chase, 4.5" x 7.5" Boxcar deep relief base, 2 or 3 quoins and keys, trucks, rubber rollers (with custom protective storage box), composing stick, and a few other small pieces.

Model: Vandercook 4-T • $16,500
-Serial No. 16041 (manufactured 1953)
-Length: / Width: 6’6” x 2’2”
-Power: standard 110 volt plug (running 1/4 HP motor)
-Weight: 1100 lbs
-Bed: 15” x 35”
-Maximum sheet: 14 ¾” x 20” / Maximum form: 14” x 18”
- Same as the Vandercook 4, but used to pull transparency proofs of type on transparent acetate or glassine that could then be contacted to film for offset negatives. (Info from vandercookpress.info)
-It's in great shape and I've used it for tons of wedding invitation and greeting card work over the last several years.
-Rubber rollers were replaced about 5 years ago and are in great shape
-Related materials are included: all the wash-up parts that are not currently attached, lockup bar, quoins and keys, 9" x 12" standard relief Boxcar base, and more.
-Press has a paper delivery tray attached
-The press is mounted on a pallet, so it's a breeze to move with a forklift. I have movers I'd recommend.

I’m ready to sell the presses I’ve had for many years, and move on to a new adventure!

I have two presses to sell and this is the information for the Vandercook 4-T proofing press, details below. Please be in touch with any questions. Everything is currently in my studio on Bergen Street in Brooklyn, NY. A bit below ground floor, but there is a freight elevator and the Vandercook is mounted on a pallet so it can be easily moved with a forklift. I have movers I’d recommend!
