On both 219os and 219ns the feedboard is mainly wood, but there is a sheetmetal lip, which also has the slot for the sideguide. There are several of each in the SF area (I was looking at a NS just last week), and I could take measurements at some point in the future if needed. --Eric Holub, SF Yes, that is most definitely a 219os.

It appears presses can get just as rusty in Florida as they can in the Nevada desert. I think the rust issue is manageable and except for the feedboard, all the major parts seem to be there, although the pictures leave a lot to be desired. I just looked at the manual for this press, and in true Vandercook fashion, the feed board is not even shown. I may be able to locate the print if someone takes the press on and wants to replace the feed table with a degree of accuracy. Yes, I’d agree that is a 219 Old Style.

I wasn't even looking at Vandercooks because the feed board supports didn't look like anything I recognised as Vandercook. Do you mean Old Style though? On your page I found this: http://vandercookpress.info/v219os.html which seemed to be the best match. Great detective work, Paul.

Note the inking system and the cylinder gear cover. However, the one in the Briar Press photos is a 219 Old Style. Note the shape of the cabinet, position of the power switch and two foot pedals. See the corresponding images in the Press Model Index http://vandercookpress.info/models.html . Of course, with the serial number in hand Fritz will be able to definitively identify the one for sale.
