The lock mechanism works just fine and all of the metal appears to be straight. It does show some pitting on the nickel plating on several of the surfaces. The pica numbers and marks are all readable. But 57 is a little hard to see. Otherwise, the photos pretty much tell the story. It has been cleaned of rust and feels smooth to the touch everywhere. It comes from a clean. Non-smoking environment. Shipping will be in a flat-rate padded envelope. I can change that to a box upon request but the cost is higher.

H.B. Rouse letterpress Lead & Slug Clipper cutter letterpress starter kit item
Offered: H.B. Rouse Slug Clipper. Great item for novice/hobby letterpress printer as well as professional. The H.B. Rouse name is synonymous with the very best in printers equipment and tools. This clipper has been completely gone through oiled where needed and blade has been sharpened. This clipper operates/works smoothly and will supply the user years of service. The bed on this clipper has a graduations showing picas and half pica. There are numerical picas stamped into the bed starting at 30 and even number marked down through 4. The gauge has a button that when depressed allows user to remove gauge if you desire to cut a longer slug by eye or change to desired slug length on bed. The shorter lines on the bed denote half pica(6 point) graduations. The longer lines denote full pica graduations. The gauge has solid locking feature that ... morematches the gear like teeth in the shelf. When you cut with the gauge properly engaged the length of the slug is exactly the same every time. H.B. rouse made three versions of this clipper/cutter. The one offered is the top of the line. For comparison I have included all three Rouse versions of this clipper: 1 Complete with gauge. Same item as offered this auction. 2 With 1 1/2 inch shelf. No gauge. 3 With 30 pica graduated shelf. No gauge. The following was lifted from a sales catalog selling this same clipper: Quickly pays for itself by eliminating expensive time lost by compositors in walking to slug cutter or saw. Priced so low that it pays to have one on each frame or make-up bank. The same catalog also shows the selling price in 1958 was $9.90. With adjustment for inflation of the dollar the price listed is a real bargain. Sadly H.B. Rouse no longer makes letterpress equipment for the trade. This item will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail which includes insurance coverage for full value as well as USPS Tracking. USPS Priority mail delivers in 2-3 day to most locations in the USA. All purchases ship within one business day of receiving your cleared funds. For Overs
