The Baltimore Jobber No.5 is a fairly uncommon 8x12 treadle press manufactured by J.F.W. Dorman in the 1890's.  It was fully restored and is in excellent shape. I have an extra flywheel that comes with it also. Production ceased around 1904, when the Dorman factory was lost in the great Baltimore fire. Everything on it works great.  The impressive 34 1/2" flywheel with serpentine spokes powers a clamshell mechanism with massive counterweight.  There are two 8x12 chases. We had brand new saddles machined from original specs. It does not have rollers but they can easily be ordered. We are based outside of New Orleans. We can assist with logistics to a degree but we need to talk first. The $500 price is if you pick it up.  It is on a wood pallet and the best way to move it would be to rent a Penske truck with lift gate, not a uhaul ramp trailer.  We did that before and it took far more effort than the lift gate did.
Antique and restored condition.
