    This Tool-machine came from an old local print shop. On the label: The Sterling, Patented 1899, 1901, Southworth Machine Co., Portland, ME. It is an interesting industrial piece, but I haven't been able to find information on it. Any input would be very appreciated.

      Southworth is still in business so they might be willing to help you out. Do you also have the base and cutters? Nice piece you have there.

      I also have a Sterling Round Coner Cutter in my shop with the same patent date, however it has the American Type Founders Co. on it. Look almost identical. It does not have the "roundness" to it, and the plate is screwed onto the side of it. I will post a picture soon.

      Hi, this machine serves to perform on - reliefs in the corners of the cards. It was used mostly for wedding cards, baptism, etc. I hope you serve the information, greetings from Argentina

      I have one just like it here at my printing shop in Louisiana. How much is it worth?
