Be Aware!
I’m sorry to say I’ve had reports of some posters being approached by scammers: these have been typically not in the UK or asking for items to be couriered. In one case a person was offered too much for their press and asked for the difference to be paid back to the buyer. The Nationwide has more details of frauds to look out for.

Ayers Jardine (Adana) showcard press. Bought some years ago and apparently from the studio of Oliver Postgate! It’s clean, complete and works well but I just don’t use it enough to justify the space. Reasonable offers and a good home considered.
