Nice early industrial book press. Has faint writting on the top as pictured . I can only make out “Wash” I think it possibly is Tacoma , Washington and cant read the first line of writting.

A really neat piece in overall good vintage condition. Can be fastened to a surface by two mounting holes one both sides. Wheel turns nicely both ways and appears to press evenly as expected. Has gold tone strip detail as shown in photos. Has blemishes as shown from age and use.

This baby is VERY very heavy, will be professionally packed and shipped by local shipping company.

Please review all photos carefully and reach out with any questions prior to purchase.
