According to Ralph Green Damon & Peets made presses under that name from 1892 to 1900. From 1900 to 1908 they went by the name Geo. Damon & Sons.
Is there any way to identify what year my press was made?
Not that I know of, unless improvements were made and announced in a trade publication, like The Inland Printer.
