Unidentified Miniature Press
Overview
The model and manufacturer of this press has not been identified. It resembles the Standard Level Press (manufactured by H.H. Thorp of Cleveland, OH.), the Victor Printing Press (first manufactured by J. Cook & Co., later by Kelsey & Co., both of Meriden, CT.), the Columbian (manufactured by Curtis & Mitchell of Boston, MA.), and the Pilot Lever Press (manufactured by Chandler & Price of Cleveland, OH.). However, none are an exact match.
