Overview
The Columbian Press was manufactured by J. M. Powell in London in 1876. The Columbian style of press was invented by George Clymer in Philadelphia around 1812. The Columbian style of press is marked by its elaborate decoration, in using a cast-iron eagle as a counterweight, and usually caduceus ornamentation on each side of the staple. It was also the first to be manufactured in large numbers by a great variety of firms, including J. M. Powell's.
