Kelsey hand-operated letterpress

Just a heads-up, in case someone misses it: I have moved the small cast iron Kelsey letterpress to my home shop for refurbishment. I spoke to the Board about this a while back. It is slated for new ink rollers, shafts, and trucks, as well as a thorough de-rusting and painting, complete with gold lettering and possibly pin striping, depending on what I find during cleaning. I plan to document the process with at least photos and possibly a YouTube video.
