Antique Hotel Roosevelt Desktop Printing Press

This Antique Hotel Printing Press is sure to add a touch of nostalgic travel charm to your home. Made of cast iron and wood with a warm, well-aged patina, this handsome press would have adorned a desk in the office of the long-shuttered Hotel Roosevelt, once located in the heart of downtown Chicago.

This classic printing press operates with time-tested simplicity: pulling back the handle would lower the typeface onto an ink pad covering it in ink; pulling the handle forward transfers the design to a piece of paper or other item ready for stamping. From an era when paper was king and every transaction had a receipt, the press was used to stamp the hotel's distinctive name onto all varieties of papers, invoices, receipts and statements.

Certain to serve as a centerpiece on your desk or in the home office or den, this industrial treasure will recall the simplicity of a bygone era and forever be at your service.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In good antique condition with wear to the press from decades of use. Does not include ink pad. 6.25"H x 7.5"W x 11.5"L.
