IT'S ALIVE! First proof on the Mini Pearl: the lockup still in the chase when I pulled the press out of the garage, which must date back fifty years, since it still has a text telephone exchange designation and there's no ZIP code. Second proof: "hello, world!" set from my very own case of some bastard hybrid of Typewriter and Clarendon which I have only one capital O and one capital P but it's so unique and idiosyncratic that I love it too death. No, I couldn't find it in McGrew, sadly enough. Gotta do some tweaking and dialing in, but we have ink on paper. #letterpress #bostonprinter #printing #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #type #lead #tin #antimony #vandercook #stovefactory #Charlestown #ink #paper #inkonpaper #goldingpearlimproved8 #minipearl #firstproofinfiftyyears #telephoneexchangenames #nozipcode https://www.instagram.com/p/CTdpA38rPLg/?utm_medium=tumblr

I think I remember seeing these words somewhere written in meter-high letters of inquenchable fire: OIL THE PARTS. #letterpress #bostonprinter #printing #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #type #lead #tin #antimony #vandercook #stovefactory #Charlestown #ink #paper #inkonpaper #OILTHEPARTS #goldingpearlimproved8 #MiniPearl https://www.instagram.com/p/CTbFI8trWKt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Stopoff at the Press for a client pickup, my printer's devil decided to help fix the Golding Pearl Improved No 8. Bonus "pose" included. #letterpress #bostonprinter #printing #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #type #lead #tin #antimony #vandercook #stovefactory #Charlestown #ink #paper #inkonpaper #printersdevil #helping #goldingpearlimproved8 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVWGLc3L9OE/?utm_medium=tumblr

This just in... while packing up the rollers to get them recoated, I noticed the suggested dimensions were waaaay off. So I finally took a ruler to the chase... and this is actually a Golding Pearl Improved No. 8. So it's even smaller and cuter than you thought! Of course, I do look like a dumbass for not measuring the damn thing in the first place, but I'm going to plead Daddy Brain. 🤪 #letterpress #bostonprinter #printing #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #type #lead #tin #antimony #vandercook #stovefactory #Charlestown #ink #paper #inkonpaper #goaheadandmeasureit #duh #daddybrain #GoldingPearlImproved8 #evencuter https://www.instagram.com/p/CPen1A1hO43/?utm_medium=tumblr

Not much gramming today, it was a full Sloan Zone program, but I'm here late in the dirty clothes to start scrubbing Mini Pearl into some semblance of presentability. #letterpress #bostonprinter #printing #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #type #lead #tin #antimony #vandercook #stovefactory #Charlestown #ink #paper #inkonpaper #inthedirtyclothes #scrub #scrubscrubscrub #mmmmsolvents #exhaustfanonhigh #goldingpearlimproved8 #minipearl https://www.instagram.com/p/CTbDKPEL5KX/?utm_medium=tumblr
