VINTAGE CHANDLER & PRICE 8X12 LETTERPRESS HAS FOOT TREADLE,& ELEC. MOTOR 110/120

Description

AFTER 103 YEARS, THIS CUTE LITTLE CHANDLER & PRICE LETTERPRESS WITH FOOT TREADLE, IS IN GREAT SHAPE, SHOWS NORMAL WEAR.
THE FOOT TREADLE WAS USED WHEN ELECTRIC WAS NOT AVAILABLE, OR WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO OPERATE AS NEEDED.
I PURCHASED THE PRESS IN 1959 TO START A PRINTING BUSINESS, THE ONLY PRESS WE HAD FOR A FEW YEARS. ALONG CAME THE MULTIL'S AND AB DICK'S OFFSET PRESSES, WHICH LESSENED THE WORK LOAD FOR THE LITTLE C&P LETTERPRESS BUT IT WAS ALWAYS USED FOR THOES SPECIAL JOBS.WHEN TIME CAME FOR MY RETIREMENT, AND TO SELL MY BUSINESS AND EQUIPMENT, I COULD NOT PART WITH THE LITTLE C&P PRESS. AFTER 15 YEARS OF IT'S RETIREMENT, SITTING IN A NICE ENVIRONMENT, I THINK IT'S TIME TO PASS THE LITTLE PRESS ON. I'M SURE IT WOULD LIKE TO GET INKED UP AGAIN, OR IT WILL MAKE A NICE SHOW PIECE. ALONG WITH THE PRESS IS AN OLD SPINNIT TABLE TOP,  ELECTRIC DRILL PRESS, TWO CHASES, 2 INK FORM ROLLERS WITH TRUCKS, WOOD FURNITURE, LOCK-UP QUOINS & KEY, LINE GAUGE AND ETC. THE PRESS IS ON A SKID, WE HAVE A LOADING DOCK AND A TOWMOTOR. WE WILL LOAD IT ON YOUR TRUCK.
NO RETURNS - AS IS - WHERE IS.
