Daughaday Model Job Press No. 3, 1880
Overview
Daughaday manufactured jobbing platen presses from 1874 to 1900. Around this time, small platen presses manufactured for the use of amateur printers gained popularity. The Model style of press went in a different direction encouraging amateurs to enter the commercial world with a larger press. The Model was available in seven size variants, four hand-operated and three treadle-operated. The no. 3 is a freestanding model suitable for small booklet and flyer work.
