Finally had a NICE score this year!

Hey all, Its been a while since I had a descent score of anything really...Then my buddy called me and told me about these. I knew right away I had to have them but then I found out there were almost 40 of them! They are vintage Hamilton printing drawers. These are all made from wood and have cool brass handles. They are pretty big too. almost 30 inches long and 17 inches deep. Every one of them are in nice condition with no cracks. I am thinking about building a custom case to hold about 10 of them for nut and bolt storage.

Was any of the old type included?

My father was a printer nearly all his life. He did letterpress exclusively, ran Linotypes and set type by hand, I knew what you had immediately when I saw the picture. Thank you for sharing that and bringing back some real good memories.
