Edit to add model no.
Purchased 20 minutes south of Skaneateles, NY. Seller didn't have any history, the press was in the barn when they purchased the property. Interesting no WT badge, and the Green Band motor was painted black and cream. I saw another press like this on FB listed in the the same general area (Finger Lakes)I wonder if they came out of the same showroom 90+ yrs. ago!
I would like to use this in the shop for a dedicated task, I hope to clean it up, leaving the paint in an as is condition, address the wiring, brighten the clear metal a little and re-grease the bearings.

If this press has a proper model number, please send me a msg.
