Can you help me fairly (to you and me) price a sweet table top press? It’s a Sigwalt Ideal #5. Chase is 6 x 9. Missing the rollers/trucks and 1 gripper. When the handle is lowered, the ink plate rotates one notch each press. I don’t want to part with it, but taxes and insurance are tumbling down around me. Thanks! I’m located in West Michigan. 231-861-0022. Mary

If you put it on eBay you’d probably get around 500-1000 for it. These little presses are in high demand. Usually the buyers are mistaken about the capabilities of such a small machine and are looking for something that can deliver the deep impression that is currently popular in letterpress printing.

Oh… and please don’t ship it. These things are fragile and there have been many lost to poor handling in the post. Having the buyer pick it up will ensure that it stays in good shape.
