I can’t really tell from the photo, but from what I see, it may well be a Verner Multipress. These were predominately used for ticket and envelope printing.

Lisenby was the originator, and Verner took over, improved, and sold many more, I think even into the 1980s.
The Lisenbys made theirs in California, and if the International Printing Museum in Southern California doesn’t have one already, they might be interested.
