Seller's description:

Vintage circa 1920's Stephenson Blake Proof Press on wooden stand.

The roller does slide along the press but would probably benefit from being serviced.

The wooden stand measures 58cm x 40cm x 80cm high and the press is 56cm x 38.5cm x 11.5cm high plus the height of the roller.

The useable bed size is approximately 46cm x 33cm (18' x 13')

Also included is a quantity of quoins and wood furniture.

At one end of the press is embossed '5100A', this could be a model number?

The press weighs approximately 30kg and is transportable so if you do workshops in various locations then this press is ideal. It can also be used on a worktop if you don't want to use the stand.

Once purchased it will be sent with Proovia Couriers to most UK locations excluding the Highlands and Islands. Alternatively it can be collected from Richmond, North Yorkshire DL10 4FB.
