I believe that the maker's mark should be stamped on the side of an uppercase A.

It's kind of sad that Don is breaking this font out of sorts.

Anyway, should go and post to http://www.briarpress.org/discussion

The precision routing is courtesy of a pantograph..

Thank you , thank you! Most informative.

tmac, perhaps I'm missing the humor in your comment but Don simply help ID the type ...I'll go over to the print shop and check the uppercase A ...I'll post my findings.

Thanks again!

A question was asked in the FontID board. The question was answered there. In no conceivable possible way could it ever affect what happens in sorts.

Hi tmac, no luck on finding a foundry stamp on any of the uppercase A, but there were only three of them to check. Perhaps that particular uppercase A has gone missing long ago. When I get the time I'll go back and check the rest of the type.

The font is being broken up, with the individual sorts being given away. That is sad. There may not have been humor intended; "breaking this font out of sorts" may simply be standard hot metal terminology.

I'm surprised that they are not being sold as individual decorator items.
For comparison, consider that some people buy old typewriters, cut off the keys, make them into knick-knacks and peddle the results. The practice is called "key chopping."

When I made the Type Table*, I made sure the type remained entirely usable.
