Made in the early 1920's

This machine was used by the Jefferson Jimplecute to make newspaper printing plates until the early 1970's. This "hot type" machine actually melted lead that was then cast into strips of lead type that were locked into place on the printing press. After printing, the type was re-melted to begin the process again.

Come into The Jefferson Museum to see many other exhibits.
