Anyone have a date when this might have been made. I cannot find any information for this press. The University I adjunct teach at needs this information for their records.

    After my initial comment I noticed that Casey’s post was titled 2OKP. The catalog image references a 2028KP. In an email Casey said that the nameplate does indeed read 20KP. Can anyone shed a light on this or recommend another equipment catalog?

    Thanks Paul,

    This is very helpful. We’re setting up a letterpress studio at Texas A&M University Commerce in downtown Dallas,

    Casey

    Try abe.com.
    I just added the image to your post.

    Please tell me what school so I can add it to the Challenge census.

    The 1953 Western Newspaper Union (WNU) Catalogue of Printing Machinery and Supplies lists your model in a spec table on page 38.
