Crafted from solid cast iron, this piece features its original green paint with patina and wear, reflecting decades of use. The maker’s brass badge is still intact, marking it as a genuine W. Mitchell press—a respected British manufacturer linked to pen nib manufacturing, especially dip pens and writing accessories in the 19th and early 20th centuries. 

These presses were historically used for:

Bookbinding

Printmaking

Letterpress copying (an early method of document duplication by pressing handwritten or printed sheets onto a damp tissue copy)
