Golding Official No. 6

I am selling my Golding Official No. 6, size 8 1/4 x 12 1/2 serial number 1021. I don’t know the age of this benchtop press but I purchased the press in 2010 in Germany and just got finished restoring it.

The previous owner, a German printer, told me a little about the history of the press. It was brought to Germany during World War II and used by the US Army. After the war it was sold to a local German print shop (Wagner) in the town of Weiden Bavaria. There it remained in service until 1978. When the printer retired in 1985, the press was given to him as a present from his now former employer. The press used to be painted olive green over the original black factory paint. This must have been done when the press was army property. Anyway, a great piece of United States history!

My asking price is $1500 obo. This press can be picked up in Augusta Georgia. Thank you for your interest.

PRESS IS SOLD!!!
