Item Description:
Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.

For sale is a complete, fully functional, and highly collectible Charles E. Francis & Brothers Sectional Screw Veneer Press. This is an authentic piece of American industrial history, manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, prior to 1907 (before the company relocated its foundry to Indiana).
At 66” long with a 17” throat depth, this is the highly sought-after compact size. It is the perfect footprint for a small custom woodshop, lutherie (guitar building), skateboard deck pressing, furniture edge-banding, or as an incredible historic industrial display piece.
Unlike modern vacuum setups, this heavy-duty cast-iron workhorse provides massive, uniform mechanical clamping pressure that is virtually indestructible.
Specifications & Details:
• Capacity: 66 inches (Length) x 17 inches (Width/Depth throat clearance) x 60 inches (Total Height)
• Condition: Excellent working condition. The frame is structurally perfect with no cracks or repairs in the antique cast iron.
Loading & Logistics:
• Location: Ground level access in Bay City, MI with a wide doorway. No stairs or tricky corners.
• Rigging & Transport: We can load with a fork lift.
• Assistance: I am happy to help the buyer with the disassembly process and assist with loading the components.
Terms: Cash upon pickup.
Located in Bay City, MI. Message me to arrange a time to look at it or if you have any questions!
