Kingsley Machine hot stamping Single Line Multi Line Typeholders

                     We get a lot of questions about the old

                Kingsley Machine Company Typeholders
                                                   &
                 Using Standard Hot Foil Stamping Type in them.

Originally the type holders had a ridge built into it (first photo below). Kingsley Machine Company Type
was exclusively manufactured for them and was on a 17 point body with two nicks on one side and one nick
on the other side (second photo below, top).   This allowed only Kingsley Machine Company Type to fit in
the equipment.   Standard type is on a standard body in sizes such as 18, 24, 36, 48, 72. As you can see in
second photo below (the standard type is shown in the bottom of the photo) standard type has only one
nick and is being set in one of our new 18 point 3" holders designed for the old model Kingsley to hold
standard type.

                          Upgrading you old Kingsley Machine Company Typeholders:

Have the ridge removed and one point removed from the Back of the holder. Removing the one point
from the back is important because the holder remember was for 17 point type and you will be now be
using 18 point type. So how much is one point...only .014 "

Note: this is not required for the Kingsley M-101 series machine Typeholders.
