Dake arbor press questions

[MajorTaylor13]

I picked up this Dake arbor press recently. The casting reads No. 001 but the brass plate on the front reads Model 00. Does 001 refer to 1 ton capacity and the other simply the model number? Also, can anyone tell me the year it was produced? Thank you.

The shop I worked in while in High School had a Dake Arbor Press, so i can confidently say they were common during the middle 1950 period.
