Colts Armory 13x19 with full ink train

I have a 13x19” Colts Armory Press made by John Thomson press company in the Hartford CT factory. Serial # 1952 puts it in late 1890s. I recovered all the rollers and ran in the press on several jobs. Flawlessly printed runs of 4000 on a various substrates. Comes with die jacket, 3 chases, full ink train including fountain roller and and an extra set of roller cores. Press runs circles around any other handfed platen for ease of use, accuracy and sheer power. An incredible press. Comes with motor set to run at around 400 impressions per hour and feels quite leisurely at that speed. Only selling as I’ve gotten another and enjoy fixing these things up.
Pickup in Holyoke MA in building with loading dock adjustable to any truck height, or shipping can be arranged at buyers cost. Press can be be skidded and wrapped for easy pickup. Weighs about 2500 pounds. Moved easily on pallet jack. $4000 message with any questions. More photos can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19QdbQs1Hk/
