Are there any letterpress printers lurking ?  specifically, LP's using foundry type who may be interested in some excess equipment i've got that i'd like to swap, sell, or donate to a school ?  i don't want to waste davis_sq lj space listing a bunch of pretty esoteric stuff, so drop me a line if you or anyone you know might be interseted.  thanks !

Yes, YES! I am so interested. I am trying to get myself set up printing... right now I head down to Providence to rent press time, but I am trying to set up my own shop.

There is also a Harvard student group,

There is also a Harvard student group, <a href="http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~adams/bowarrow/index.php"Bow and Arrow press</a>--they don't really have contact info on the website but if you call the number for the house office they would probably put you in touch with the right person.
