Here is the press as I found it.
Attachment 201963
After a little TLC. Press is really tight, not worn at all.
I had one just like it in 1961 that I bought new. Loaned it out and never got it back. I have been looking for one at the right price for years!
Looking good - and nice bench, btw.
That's a nice restoration. Would you consider another loan? :wink:
I don't think I make that mistake again!! Thanks for the compliment though!Quote:

The other 6 feet out of the picture looks good when I close my eyes too!Quote:

Nice job on that old girl. I've got one that looks just like your top picture. I'll just keep using mine like it is, I would buy a red bicycle grip for the handle if I could find one.
I would love to find an old c&h 1 or 3 die press, at a reasonable price of course! You did it justice for sure! Looks good.
That's pretty impressive...looks new.
Sweet ! I'm a sucker for CH tools , they are nice.
Good score .

I'm just have fond of the memories at 15 years old, learning on my CH C press and a CH H press like this one. Lost the C press at the same time. Glad to have the H back though.Quote:
