1890s Cast Iron Printing Press

$ 995.00

Manufactured sometime in the 1890s, this is an antique black cast iron printing press dubbed the "Lightning Jobber" and was made in Palmyra, NY. From just a cursory inspection, it seems to be in mostly working order, the large wheel moves smoothly and all the moving parts seeming to move just fine. The foot pedal has a bit of trouble coming back up after you press down, not sure how big of an issue that is. Solid cast iron construction with a solid oak work surface. Truly a magnificent historical piece! Comes with very heavy steel roller
