Vintage Find ~ 1800' s Letterpress

 

A late 1800's or early 1900's Baltimore cast iron tabletop letterpress. Looks like it's already been 'jerry-rigged' but the self inking disc turns a little with each stroke of the handle for printing.

The printing press is for 2.5" by 4" paper size. Needs some work, but in the meantime as just a stand alone desk top piece looks like art to me! What a find!
