I work for a liv­ing his­tory museum in Basing­s­toke, Hamp­shire (Mile­stones Museum). We have a work­ing Columbi­an Press, that we are keen to demon­strate to vis­it­ors, the main prob­lem being that we have little type­set, spacers, leads and fur­niture. If any­one is look­ing to rid of these things, please keep us in mind. Thank you. Jo
