Note

1  Several more presses are known than are listed, but these owners asked to be excluded from the census.Vandercook presses built under license in Great Britain during the late 1940s and 50s are included but have separate serial number ranges. To aid quick identification the prefix “UK” has been added to the manufacturer licensee’s serial number.Presently, 6.7% of entries lack serial numbers, which may account for some duplicate entries.
