This is a No.1 Vandercook Proof Press with everything you need to create an art press, woodcut press, linoleum block, teaching or fine print business. I bought this press in 1974 and it has had very little use in all the years I have owned it. It was used to print facsimile pages for rare books that were missing crucial pages. It is in good condition and good for another 100 years of continuous use. It looks like it still has the original paint and it glides like a dream. The No1. Vandercook Proof Press is in my opinion the best of all proofing presses because of its brand, girth, simplicity and size. Most Vandercook presses are big and very heavy; this press is practical for a small print room or garage yet has the stuff that great presses are made of. In other words it is manageable, yet has the weight, print area and girth to deliver a powerful print with relative ease. I think it weighs around 400lb, can be moved by two strong people. If you have ever dreamed of owning a printing press get the best because it simplifies the entire print process and will always deliver the finest results. Take a look at the photos and everything you see is what you get. You get No.1 Vandercook Proof Press. I think I have 5 type fonts… two of them in type cases. One of the fonts is a large wood font. The other fonts I believe are Times Roman, Garamond or Century (but not sure). And there is one font that looks to be an art deco font of some type. Inks, type sticks, ink, rollers, various block prints and two chase. It also comes with an old metal base but it is not the original base. I have put a premium price on this press because the No.1 Vandercook Proof Press is very hard to find and this one is in good working order. I paid a lot for it in 1974 and I am sure it will only go up in value over the years. Plus it is a very cool item. Printing area about 16"X14" For more info about Vandercook press go to: bookartcollective (dot) (com) /?p=145 CONDITION OF BIDDING. 1. You must have bought over 50 items on ebay and have a good rating in order to bid. 2. You will need to arrange shipping from Spokane Washington. I think the total weight may exceed 500lb but I am not sure. I think it will all fit on one wood pallet. 3. You must pay in paypal or ebay dollars. 4. You must be a United State buyer – no shipping over seas. 5. You will need to pick up the press or have a shipping company pick it up in two weeks after the buy. You may pick it up in person if you prefer. 6. You will need to have it insured by the shipping company or assume the liability. I will give you a bill of sale. 7. If you are in a State where sales tax is charged you will need to add that to the price. I have a 100% rating so you can trust that what you see you will get.
