Be Aware!
I’m sorry to say I’ve had reports of some posters being approached by scammers: these have been typically not in the UK or asking for items to be couriered. In one case a person was offered too much for their press and asked for the difference to be paid back to the buyer. The Action Fraud Website has more details of frauds to look out for.

Frederick Ulmer Columbian Printing Press For sale. The press was in full working order when I purchased about 8 years ago and has been stored under a blanket in my garage. Not currently set up due to space not high enough. top platen is double demy I believe 24 x 36 ins. It was moved professionally from Hayling Island and it just needs new webbing to roll bed in and out, Tymphan needs re- covering and some general clean up but everything is with it no parts missing and platen no cracks. I also have the original inking stand that was with the press and these are quite rare now. Only for sale reluctantly as I do not have the workshop space to set up as I have a large etching press set up. Bank Transfer or cash on collection only. £9,000

Dear all, I have a Model No.3 table top letterpress machine that lacks the correct chase. I have been making do with smaller ones, but am now fed up with the faff! It’s now my dearest wish to have the right chase that just lifts in and out of the machine, without hastily made supports that usually mean I print on the wonk. So please, if anyone has a chase for my Model No. 3, I would be very happy.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jonathan

Victoria A3 parallel art platen. German built c.1930.The Rockstroh-Werke AG of Heidenau built these fantastic machines prior to WWII. Much sought after by fine printers for their even impression and superb inking. Easy to operate, with adjustable roller rail height, central impression weight, brake etc. This is the A3 model (platen 420 x 300 mm). Comes with two chases and side tables, two large on one small grippers. Large single phase variable speed electric motor. Domestic 3 pin plug. 1.5HP. The press has been in continual use and is well maintained – no work needed. The machine can be lifted onto pallet for collection near Durham. If a buyer is on the east between Kent and Northumberland, shared delivery might be possible. Only selling as I have an eye on a slightly larger machine. If I’d the space, I’d be keeping this one. Cash on collection or bank transfer. Offers around £1,200.00
