Found this iron bookpress at a place in Florida we frequent when we go to the beach. I’m guessing late 19th century. Dealer said it was sourced either in Belgium or France. I love iron and mechanical things and books, so this is a great combination of those interests. Anybody familiar with these things is welcome to chime in.
I luv things like this. It's a shame that it won't go any further with us collectors because the new owners of CW won't correct our problems. Probably not enough profit margin for the mongols.
Nice find ...
Hey, I could use one of those when I re-do boards and binding on antique books. Currently, I just use more books and heavy weights. Hah hah.
