A brief moment in the history of SN C58577 Chandler and Price 10 x 15 Job Press
This press was purchased from a punch press manufacturing company in Clinton Missouri in April 2009 by DeFelice Engineering. This punch press manufacturing company did its own product brochure printing in house and had this press since before World War II.
We restored this press to working order in September of 2009.
It is not my intention to restore this machine to show, or museum quality. It is my intention to re-work, as necessary, a 100 year old versatile piece of printing machinery, and to give it possibly, another 100 years of life.
As a designer of machines and lover of old machines, especially this one that oscillates, reciprocates, slides, rotates and clinks; it warms my heart to bring back to life this 1919 cast iron masterpiece.
