Absolutely beautiful restoration. You have an especially fine touch with these ornate castings. I could tell this was a book press, but I didn't realize it had missing parts. The damaged disc would also have stopped me because I'm not a welder. I think this is a museum quality restoration. Thank you and smiles from the USA.

[@icarus877]

I do not think this is a book press - in fact I am almost certain it is not. It is more certainly known as a letter press or lawyers press = used for compressing papers, letters etc.

[@tomhbeatle1]

Ditto, Tom.. USA beautiful workmanship

[@chloeuntrau4588]

@@icarus877 Agreed! it was supposed to be an easy to carry press, also to press flowers, light stuff. I find it a pity that it has lost its original function although the job is well done..

[@mm9773]

@@icarus877 No, it’s definitely a bookbinding press. It can be used for different purposes, but it’s called a bookbinding press because it’s one of the presses used by bookbinders. Letterpress is something completely different, and I don’t know why lawyers would have a press like that, or why anybody would want to compress papers or letters - except bookbinders of course, for binding them.

Je visionne la restauration de cette presse d'une incroyable beauté pour la 36 millième foi. Je n'ai pas de mot pour décrire mon admiration pour ce magnifique travail qui redonne sa beauté originelle a cette merveille . Je pleure de dépit de ne pas la procéder et de savoir que, peut-être, elle sera rangée dans un sombre débarras, alors qu'elle serait admirée en permanence si elle trônait sur un meuble de mon salon. Elle m'a fait tourner la tète. 😍🥰 Encore bravo pour ce formidable travail.

Thanks Rami , something like: Mustfrschu 17 Elsenotessnr DPR.Moravia Marienthal, but it doesn't make sense :) Radek

[@zr550b]

The parts I could decipher say “Eisengiesserei Marienthal Moravia”. (Eisengiesserei meaning iron foundry) A quick check with Wikipedia shows the following: This should be the German name of the Czech town of Mariánské Údolí, nowadays part of Hlubočky. An ironworks was established here in 1827. In 1854 an ironmonger by the name of Ignaz Karl Machanek transformed it into a nail factory. In 1870 this and the “Marienthaler Eisenwerke” (Marienthal ironworks) became part of “Moravia”, a joint stock company. After being part of the German Reich (from 1938?) until the end of World War II the region was returned to the Czech Republic. Following the Velvet Revolution, the ironworks was privatized again and nowadays goes by the name “Mora Moravia a.s.”. Unfortunately, the English entry isn’t half as extensive as the German one, hence my mediocre attempt at translating the relevant information. On the other side of the base plate, the number 470 is clearly visible. Maybe a serial number? As to the Star of David, I’m at a loss. Maybe this was etched because of some kind of customer request?
