Two of us were able to travel to the Smithsonian for a letterpress event sponsored by the American Printing History Association. Several Kelsey’s were set up for kids (including us) to print souvenirs. A small assortment of interesting items from storage were on special display including several small models, a small tabletop iron press, an aluminum take-apart spy press in a briefcase, and a small card press complete with specially sized type. Josef Beery was on hand with one of his Book Beetle Presses which Paul makes a print on here.
