Nice find. It reminds me of Moe pressing one of The Three Stooges heads in it. Am I dating myself?

Nice buy. Thanks for sharing...
 

I got this today at a barn sale for $15.00 - when I got it home and cleaned the dust off , I found some nice gold stenciling under the crud . It weighs about 50 or 60 pounds .

wow that is really nice. You know, booksellers use those today to recondition books. I wish i had one lol. You might look around locally for rare book sellers (or binders) or even "boutique" type publishers and check for interest.
 

that is a really nice looking piece. I am not sure I could part with it if I picked it up!!

Cheers - Koffee
