Valuation on Vintage Press
I’m donating a vintage Gordon Franklin New Style press, in good working condition, that likely dates to the 1870s (it has brass roller arms). I’ve read your section on estimating the value of printing equipment, but I’m looking for something more specific in order to pin down a value for this donation, (which the receiving organization requires). Any idea what the value of such a press might be, or where else I could go to get such information? Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide. Dennis
Updated. My Father is donating a 1880’s vintage Golding Pearl to a museum near Pittsburgh, PA. Of course he needs to give them a realistic value of the press. It is in excellent condition as he has used it pretty much every week up until about six months ago. Can anyone direct me to resources that would be helpful for him to come up with a fair valuation?
