Tabletop Press Identification

Can you please help me identify what press this is?
I bought this press at the Printing Museum in Houston and it needs a few parts. I’d like to identify it, to find the parts if possible. Thanks

It doesn’t match perfectly, but it looks a whole lot like this Hohner Model D on letterpress commons.

Based on the design, paint, and how clean that is, I would assume it is a similar Hohner press. They are relatively new compared to some other brands.

Thanks for the info and I cracked up about the fact that the press fell on Dave Churchman’s leg. Ouch!

R.I.P. Dave, he was a great guy!

Anyway, I have further information about the press. I found a stamp on it when I did a thorough inspection with a flash light. The stamp says Nicholson File Co. see attached picture and link. But, not sure what that company has to do with table top printing presses. Any clues?

Looks like a worn-out Nicholson file has been cut down to be a bumper or spacer, certainly not original to the press.
