Looking for Helvetica metal type

I’m looking to purchase some metal type Helvetica, 48pt or larger. Maybe 100 characters total, doesn’t really matter if they’re not complete alphabets or anything.

Anyone have any? Or know a good place to find some?

Cheers,

-Gary

I would look at http://www.briarpress.com/ in the classifieds. I’m sure if you posted this same request there, you’d get a few responses. There’s also a LETPRESS group over at yahoo groups and you could ask there as well. Can’t wait for the movie! —jimmy

I am dealer of used letterpress types.
And I offer e.g. Helvetica:

http://www.bleisetzer.de/index.php?target=verkauf

And I am dealer for Stempel, so I can offer new Helvetica weights.
But not ’100 characters’ but complete fonts. But this is not cheap.
For the new types you have to calculate from 48 p
1 kg - approx. 75 Euro

And it can be shipped in anglo-american heigt.

The used ones are much more cheaper, but with a german height.

Regards,
Georg
