We have been casting Ludlow slugs for our own use for years, and most visitors to The Excelsior Press Museum go home with their name cast in lead. We have also supplied many first-time typesetters with some common phrases as part of their starter kits, but recently, we have had more informal requests for Ludlow slugs cast to order, so here's a web page on the subject: We will cast your text in 22.5 pica lines of any fonts in our library at the rate of $3.00/line 18 pt & above $4.00/line below 18 points (plus metal @$5/lb). Scanned proofs can be emailed or posted on line for review for a modest $5 proofing fee. PLEASE NOTE: A refundable metal charge of $5.00 per pound is applied to all shipments. Shipping is by USPS flat rate box and is typically only $4.95 (2-3 day delivery in US) for however many lines that can fit into the box. Delivery is typically within the week, but rush jobs - even overnight rush jobs - can be accomodated at times.  Please call Alan at 908 627-2730 to discuss your needs and how we can help.    L U D L O W     F A C E S     A V A I L A B L E  Clarendon Bold 14,18,24,30,36,48,60,72 point Karnak Black Condensed 14, 18 point Karnak Black 14,18,24,30,36,48 point Karnak Black Condensed Italic 14, 18, 24 point Cheltenham Bold Extra Condensed 30,36,42,48 Condensed Gothic #2 18,24,30,36,48 Record Gothic 14, 18,24,30,36,48 Cooper Black 8,10,12,14,18 Radiant Medium 10,30 Coronet Bold 18 point Helvetica 12 point Bodoni Bold Italic 12 point Caslon Old Face Heavy 42 Caslon Italic 24 Tempo misc - 6-36 pt. some incomplete fonts Lining Litho Light misc - 12 pt 1,2,3,4 some incomplete fonts Lining Plate Gothic (aka Copperplate) misc - 12 pt 1,2,3,4 some incomplete fonts A partial specimen showing some of our fonts
