Brass Engraving Printing Plates Letters Alphabet # 45 Original Box Victorian

Being offered is a Brass Engraving Printing Plate set which has two sets of smaller and larger letters, it has ALPHABET # 45 on a paper label on it's original red box. I went through both sets of engraving letters and the small set has every letter in the alphabet and in most cases it had a second engraving letter. There were a handful with only one copy of that letter of the alphabet. The larger set is complete with the exception in that it has two letter J's but is missing the letter I. Every other letter is present.

All the letters appear to be in cursive or an older looking English style letter, almost looks like Victorian letters. These two sets are vintage in age and the condition of the individual plates is very good. These two sets of engraving plates come in a custom red box which has a slide cover. There is one section of the top which has chipped off but the integrity of the box is intact. The cover is in very good condition.

A good woodworker could fix the one piece which is broken. The box has nice dovetailed corners and measures approximately 8 inches by 8 inches and is 2 3/4 inches in height. The box and two sets of engraving plates weigh a bit over 5 pounds and the best way to ship is in a medium flat rate box. Pease see photos and email with questions.
