Bill Ritchie 's comment: After Alexandra Lynn, the original owner asked me to list her press for sale, Matthew Scharf found it on Etsy, and immediately he ordered it.

Originally in the Alexandra Lynn Collection - Artist's comment: Alexandra graduated from Cornish College of Art in Seattle and the first thing she did was put in an order for a Mini Halfwood Press. I believe the recommendation came from my old friend and former student who was a faculty member teaching printmaking at Cornish - Kathy "KR" Rabel.
