View on eBay: antique rare letterpress printing press*

Seller's description:

To me, this appears to be a very rare press. It's a card printer, but unlike a platen press. And it is very heavy! The way it works, you simply impel the side wheel using the hand gripper and out spits a card, one card per revolution. Very unusual. Very unlike a platen press I have no idea what year it was made, but there seem to be very few of these presses. Anyone who likes to rebuild old presses into new, this press would be a real challenge to anyone who likes to rebuild old presses into like new working order and could be sold for a lot of money to a private collector or museum.No shipping but buyer must pick up.
