Hohner A4
Boston Tiegel

prints and prints and prints.….large formats

We already have a Hohner Boston platen in A5 format here. Both Boston platens are real working machines. Not quite as beautiful as their older brothers and not as delicate either – but hey, you want to print with them. Right?
We picked up this big brother of the smaller HOBO (link here) in a cellar. One very weighty reason for the 220-kilogram platen is that it looks almost like it came from the shop. It has rarely been used and has new rollers. Rarely, but sold here with this Hohner is a second locking frame, which is also new. A large platen with which you can print almost anything – even A3 posters (twice ;.))
So you can print and print and .… You already know.
… this table top is already sold – perhaps you’ll take a look to the smaller one? (link here)

We couldn’t help ourselves. This Boston platen is a real working machine. Not quite as beautiful as its older brothers and not as elegant either – but hey, you want to print with it. Right?
In a nutshell: A truly great Boston that we really enjoyed testing. This Hohner Boston Tiegel Hobo1 was carefully cleaned in our workshop.

Someone was faster – ask us about our other machines.

Heidelberger

Platen, Year 1957

Früher waren sie in allen Druckereien zu finden und haben heute Seltenheitswert.

Ein Stück gelebte Druckgeschichte.

Trotz digitaler Druckrevolution sind im Buchdruck erstellte Produkte auch heute noch ein buchstäblich haptisches Erlebnis.

Magnificent

SORRY, JUST SOLD

They used to be found in all print shops and nowadays enjoy rarity value.

They are usually found next to a letterpress platen. Filling material, closing frames, tools and closing tools were stored in this cabinet.

The cover is made of zinc, giving this beautiful piece a sturdy work surface. 

This gem is from a school of printing and still has all the important accessories for the original Heidelberg Crucible (OHT). These are evident below in the description – and of course in the photos.

Boston Platen

freshly restored

Found in a garage, this wonderful piece of printing history is given a new lease of life. Painstakingly taken apart into its component parts, carefully cleaned and freshly varnished – it now stands in our workshop almost as if it had come out of a shop window.

The maker of this outstanding hand platen is
“H Rohrbach Berlin C. 19”.

In former times they could be found in all printing works and today they have rarity value.

A piece of living printing history. 

Despite the digital printing revolution, products created in letterpress are still a literal haptic experience today.

Unique handmade

They used to be found in all printers’ shops and nowadays enjoy rarity value.

The typesetting cabinets that still exist can often be found without typefaces. Some are in good hands and live a new life with beads or other odds and ends.

This cabinet here, however, still retains much of its contents.

The drawers contain various writings and filling material and locking material.

We have taken photos of this to give a concrete overview.

Setzergasse

Beautiful and functional

This very well preserved and now really rare Setzergasse is from a renowned German print shop.

The drawers contain a great deal of closing and filling material and various typefaces.
