This fount in its packaging was purchased by a printer, probably in the 1950's, but never opened. It is the product of Wimble's Australian Type Foundry. They ceased type production around 1960. The Museum has discovered a surprising proportion of founts in its collection to be the product of this foundry.
There are a number of unopened packages of type in the Museum: a few from Wimbles and others from Stephenson & Blake and the American Type Founders. These were acquired from printers.
In addition the Museum's associated typefoundry has hundreds of new packages from American, British and European foundries as well as its own (still in production) Monotype-based founts.
