I know there are a ton of the 220s shown here but the Navy tags on the press have to be given some recognition. Once I was sent a photo of press I knew I was going to buy it, just look at it, the goofy box, pretty dang cool switch and the way cool tags it's a beauty.I bought the press in Elmira, NY from the son of the owner. The press had been used at the building from 1970-1992 for various tasks, including the unfinished furniture his father built for the Drake Hearth & Home Shop. Bearings where flushed and re-greased, a new 'proper' helmet added. The original paint has taken on a very dark charcoal like grey. I did the best I could matching it when I painted the guard.
