Saturday, July 21, 2018 -- Two Original Monotype Matrices
Shown here are two original Lanston (American) Monotype matrices as issued by the company prior to 1910, with 0.050" depth of drive and no 'comb' supports. After that date, Monotype recalled what they could and issued composition matrices with 0.030" drive and a deeper cone hole. Matrices courtesy of Rich Hopkins.
