What Year Was My Press Built?

Hey Everyone!

I just bought my first 10x15 C&P Platen Press and looked up the serial number on multiple different spots around the web and cannot find mine listed anywhere. Anyone know what year this press was built? The serial number is C70871

Thank you!

Hi dicharry, thanks for the quick response. Can you tell me where you found that info? I’ve been scouring the internet and can’t find any concrete numbers for this.

Thanks again!

Here is one source for C&P serial numbers:

How about the year of manufacture for my 12x18 N Model C@P hand feed serial number ND 639 Bud.
