Chandler & Price 8x12 printing press

My husband and I have an 8x12 Chandler & Price printing press that we purchased a few years ago from a local museum. When we bought the press we cleaned it up and removed the rust but never had time to pursue our interest in letterpress. Now that we are moving in 2 weeks we need to sell the press before it ends up in the junk yard.

About the press…

The press was built in 1900 and it is in good shape. All wheels and gears move smoothly. It comes with original wood and parts. The press also came with a motor and belt which were added onto the press by previous owners, however they were not in working condition when we bought it. Please note that the press is usable without the motor. We had planned on purchasing a foot treadle online which we were quoted at around $150 for at the time. Attached are some photos from when we purchased it.

The press is on a pallet and weighs approx. 1400 lbs. Must be able to transport, we have no way to ship the press. We will consider all offers, we just really don’t want to see this beautiful piece of history get sent to the landfill.
