Purchased at the former Keebler's Feed Mill, in Montoursville, PA. I haven't tracked down the dates the mill operated. I was told in addition to the feed mill business they also sold and serviced agricultural equipment, where this press was used. Reviewing the dirty paper archived here, in 1956 the UT10 - A model cost $58.00. I happily paid 2X that plus a bit more, screw presses don't become available very often.

While cleaning up the press I realized it has been modified. The original bottom angle was replaced with C channel, increasing the capacity by about 2".
