This confirms my suspicion that the press is as old as myself - (though it is looking much younger with fresh paint and all the brass fittings shined- up). Eric M. Thanks Fritz !

High Street, Akron, Ohio. It was sold through Zimmer Printers Supply, N.Y. Last entry for this press was 7/25/41 when Vandercook sold them 2 "Glue Glycerine Dist. Roller." Then a fairly recent entry in hand written ink at the very bottom of the card simply states "Kent State" with no dates--its legible, so none of my employees for the last 10 years made that notation.
