Update:
I’m so grateful to you guys (and embarrassed) for catching those spelling errors. About 10 people proofed this including people who work at the hotel. I think we were all so enchanted by the laser cutting no one was reading a word. I didn’t have time to recut 250 menus so I had a new foil plate made, had some circle dies for cutting made and we just ended pasting paper over it. The bride and her guests will never know, lol.
I did make this system of rings for assembly on the GF so that things were centered and we didn’t have to think about it when we were double stick taping them together.
Nice Press, long time ago I learned on a Bang Press. Handset cold type. Plus side, I learned to read upside down and backwards, worked in my favor when sitting in front of my bosses desk…
Really cool press! Condition looks brand new. Do you know what year it was manufactured? Any interesting history you would like to share about it?, e.g. Did you have to rebuild it? Original owner?
The press was manufactured in the 60s and is in excellent condition. I’m the 3rd owner. Initially it went into a high school in Vancouver and the teacher was the only one allowed to use it. Then he retired and it sat in storage for 20 years. The second owner was a great gentleman from Grand Rapids and he had it in his basement for hobby printing. I’ve owned it for about two years now and I added the after market foil attachment last November. Those are being manufactured today in the UK.
