Line-O-Scribe Show Card from late 20s

Greetings,

I’m looking to see if anyone has parts or information on the Lino-O-Scribe show card press from the late 20s.

These are the original pivoting presses made in Adrian, MI.

See schematics from patent attached.
Many thanks!

The only information I have is the patents. I find it quite an interesting machine, more akin to a rubber stamp pad than what we consider a press. I saw one for sale once, but a 4 hour drive and $400 was too much for me to justify at the time, although I kick myself for that now.

Never seen another. They’re extremely uncommon. Honestly I’m sure some are around and people just don’t know what they are. I do have the early flatbed style made in Adrian, which is a nice little machine.
