Description
This book press is a striking example of 19th-century industrial craftsmanship—solid, utilitarian, and quietly elegant. Made of cast iron, it features a robust screw mechanism topped by a circular handle with four vertical handles welded on top to provide ample binding pressure. The flat black finish is simple, practical, and worn. The flat pressing plate and sturdy frame were designed to compress books or documents during the binding process, ensuring tight adhesion and a clean finish. Dimensions: Overall: 27” W x 16.5” D Up 28” H / Down 23” H Bay: 28.5” W x 16.5” D x 4” H (max) Condition: This book press is in overall good condition with dents and dings typical of age and use. The nuts atop both arms have been replaced. The mechanism works smoothly up and down. Please note this is very heavy, weighing at least 200lbs. Delivery Available for a small fee.
