? - ca. 1992. Dunkirk Lane, Preston, Lancashire. Monotype casting. Machines went to a museum in Japan upon closing (not sure about the matrices). See Benjamin Brundell's site http://britishletterpress.co.uk/type/type-founders: "Type cast by Mouldtype has the letters MTF cast on the shank." See also { Moseley et. al., Founder's London A-Z , p. 20} Interestingly, Moultype occupied the same site (50 Farringdon Street, London EC4) from 1956-1987 that Stephenson, Blake occupied from 1766-1986 (their building at this location is shown in the icon for this page, taken from their 1970s catalog; I doubt that this particular building existed in 1766). Type imported into the United States by Amsterdam Continental Types, Inc..
