hard pressed to find letterpress

One of the LCW participants, Sandi, suggested that I visit the St. Jacob's antique market in Waterloo and check out the woodblock type she found there. After an hour and a half drive, I was saddened to see very little in the way of letterpress equipment. I only came home with a tiny block engraved with what might look like a cut of a gas station. The remainder of the blocks were of a few punctuation marks; not what I was searching for. So I moved on and still enjoyed the other wonderful antiques the market had to offer. I stumbled upon a type tray large enough to accommodate the existing wood type I own. I also managed to grab a retro coffee tin and an old index card holder. Not a complete loss, I'd say. I'd definitely go back when the summer farmer's market is in full swing again. Thanks for the tip Sandi, I'll try my luck again!
