The Silver Buckle Press collection includes all the tools necessary to run a complete printing shop. Highlights of the collection are an 1860s Washington Hoe, an 1869 Albion handpress, a Vandercook 4T proof press, platen jobbers, and small card presses. There are over eighty complete fonts of wood type and one hundred twenty-five fonts of metal type as well as printer's ornaments, borders and cuts.

A recent notable press acquistion is Dale Guild’s B-42 Blackletter, a typeface based on the forms used by Johan Gutenberg for the 42-line Bible.

Silver Buckle Press also houses a collection of printing history materials which includes rare and original type specimen books. Most books have been cataloged and are searchable in The Library Catalog and WorldCat.
