Offered - A rather unique Book BindersCast Iron Book Press.
The Press is a really nice rich Dark Green - whichI believe is original to the piece. The Green seemsto have been baked on - it has a very rich look.
The Press has nice brass ends at each end ofthe turning screw - and a brass \"nut\" that holdsthe screw in place.
The exterior measurements of the Press are 16 inchesby 10 inches.
The interior measurements are 11 1/2 inches by10 inches - this would be where the book is placed.
The space for a book opens to a maximum of2 1/4 inches - this would be the maximum thicknessof the book.
The Press Stands 14 inches tall.
This is a very nice piece - a bit of scuffing andscraping to the finish - commensurate with its age.
Because of the weight of the Press - Which isvery heavy - I will only offer free pick-up at myPortland, Oregon address (503-283-8155)
Please note that I also have a very nice WoodenBook Press listed.
