The Robinson Improved Printer's Mallets
There is many a little printing office accessory, the utility of which has become so manifest and the article so generally used that
the wonder is the idea did not suggest itself sooner. This process will repeat itself in connection with the Robinson Improved
Printer's Mallet, the illustrations of which we
show here. The hammer head of this Mallet is
ovoid, or egg shaped. A blow struck upon the
planer is always a square blow, which is a most
important consideration when striking a proof.
It is not possible to strike a glancing blow with
this Mallet, There are no sharp corners to wear
away slip or mar the delicate type faces.
This mallet stands on end when not in use
and in correct position to be quickly and rapidly
grasped by the stone man at times when a
\ second counts in the lock-up.
The Robinson Improved Mallet is made
in five sizes of lignumvitae and hickory. The
Oobwn,      Mat                   best selected stock is used and the surface
is smooth and polished, finished with shellac.
Each single mallet is packed in a paper carton, properly labeled as to contents. A trial order for
one of those improved mallets will convince any printer of its superiority over other mallets.
