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.

Wanted
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
