These photos were sent to us by Jesse Treas:
"I have 2 sectional veneer presses stamped with Cincinnati OH on them (which is pre 1907) and I have 2 of the screw handles used to turn the screws. In addition to that, and I believe it’s probably the only survivor, I have the Directional ratchet used for the screws that, according to the sales page from the catalog, was a major upgrade. It is stamped with a patent that looks to be 1898. All of these components are in excellent condition. I actually turned the press into a dining room table and used it for 5 years in my industrial style house I built and I got to tell the story of the company many times. All of the original pieces are 100% intact. It’s quite a piece of history and I’m proud to own it."
