My baby made it home!

I’m just expressing my pure joy about saving a Westman and Baker Platen Press (10x15) from a old dreary basement this weekend. With the help of 7 dear friends, she has made it safely to my studio and I could not be happier.
With some TLC I know she will be back in working order soon.
I know many of you will understand my joy.
Cheers!

That wouldn’t be the press that was available in or near London, Ontario, would it?

Yuppers!!! And she is beautiful! Pictures soon to follow… I have not got it put back together again.

Congratulations! I saw some pictures of it maybe 6 months ago. Tried to get Westfield Heritage Village interested in it (near Cambridge, Ontario, where I volunteer), but wasn’t successful. It would have been a nice addition to the Village because it was made in Canada.

I am about to move to a house located between Scotland and Norwich, Ontario. I would be interested to know where you are, if you care to share your location (even a general location).

I’m so glad that you saved the press, and wish you all the best in printing on it.
