Help Identifying press

[thetazman]

Hello all,

Hope your doing well. I could use some help identifying this press. All I have is what appears to be a logo on a bolt on the base but that's it. The place I picked it up from is one of those antique stores that rent out stalls and does the day to day selling for you so as a result they don't usually have much info on the items in a stall and the owner is at work or dealing with life. I'm hoping that someone here can give me more info as to who made it and some history on this type of press. It stands about 18" tall to the top of the hand crank. Weighs easily 75 - 100 lbs (haven't actually weight it).

Thank you all in advanced!

No help. But really cool.

That looks like a really small book press. Just a guess. No idea who the maker is, though.

That marked thing looks like a pipe plug.

Very well could be. There is one on either side. I just wanted to get more info before I stared messing around with it!
