Harrild & Sons Albion iron hand printing press

A substantial 19th-century Albion press manufactured by Harrild & Sons, London. The press has been in storage and is being offered in its current unrestored/as-found condition. Located in Milton on the NSW South Coast, Australia.

The press appears substantially complete, although I am not a printing-press specialist and have not attempted to restore or operate it. I would prefer to leave assessment and restoration to the new owner.
