Vintage Kelsey Company Excelsior Model "N" 3x5 tabletop letter press.


Pictured in current condition with all included components (if it isn't pictured, then it isn't included).


Appears to be in working condition with moderate surface corrosion throughout, showing in some places through the grey seal coat (refer to photos). The "lever action" of the press can be fully actuated. The only components that are not present (to our knowledge from our research of this press) are the trucks/rollers (modern replacements are available online) and the grippers (tines) that held the tympan paper in place on the press face (replacements could be easily fashioned or are available online). Mounted to a painted sheet of plywood. Does not include a chase, any typeface or pressing supplies.


Please note: this listing is sold "as is", and as our knowledge of this press is not exhaustive, the description (in terms of included/missing components) may not be 100% definitive (the description in terms of quality/condition should be wholly accurate). Please refer to the photos to determine if you believe that any additional components may be missing beyond what is explicitly specified, we are willing to check it over and send additional photos on request if you have doubts or concerns as to any discrepancies between the photos and description. 


Would make a great restoration project or antique home decor.
