Included in this lot we have a H&B Co cast iron number 5 book press originating from the 19th century. The book press is used for binding and rebinding books by pressing and condensing pages together and keeping them from shifting. The piece is constructed out of cast iron with a black paint job and faded golden lettering. The press is marked "5" on one side and "H&B Co" on the other. The press shows good condition overall for its age with some of the paint pealing and showing some rust. The press measures 11 1/2" wide by 20 1/2" long and 16 1/2" at its tallest.
