Use it to display mini collections and treasures, especially if you have a large collection of small objects!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScaramanga has been stocking these classic vintage printers' cases for over 15 years and they are one of our best-selling pieces. Made from solid teak they make perfect curio organisers and display cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs shown in the images, these trays have missing parts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular W33 x H73-75cm. Dimensions and compartment configuration will vary. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally used to store and display type print for typesetting printing presses. They were used until the end of c20th, but as technology advanced, they were used less frequently and became completely redundant in the 1990s and into the early 2000s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese letterpress-type trays are in their original condition with lots of character and are totally authentic after many decades in a print factory. Read their condition report below for more information. The final image shows the 'regular' and 'large' printers' trays. Our current stock has been lacquered and will have a gloss finish, which is not shown in all the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese cases have a more 'uniform' compartment arrangement. The 'uniform' trays will not have every compartment uniform, some may be double or triple spaced, with missing or broken dividers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition report: the cases will show wear and minor damage to the edges, dividers and bottom lining, which may be split, show signs of repair or have missing sections. The final image shows wear to the bottom lining. They are still strong and structurally sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScaramanga's original vintage printer's trays are not new or made to look old. They have had long lives in industrial workshops. The tray's corners and\/or bottom may have gaps between the boards, may be split or cracked and may not be uniform in colour. They may have some of the dividers missing or broken, uneven edges, marks and scratches on them, which are consistent with their age and original use. Their condition does not affect their use. We feel these add to their character and appeal. Please look at all the photos to get an idea of their condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach salvaged tray has been washed, checked, and repaired to ensure it is structurally sound and varnished.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scaramanga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030378561819,"sku":"OFRN70756","price":62.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1601\/2827\/files\/OFRN70754-01.jpg?v=1793790243","url":"https:\/\/scaramangashop.co.uk\/products\/vintage-printers-tray-small-ofrn70756","provider":"Scaramanga Trading Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
