Baltimore No. 82.

This is my favorite press, most likely a Baltimore No. 82, by Sigwalt. Heavy, solid cast iron construction, with two chases that measure 2 1/4 x 1 3/4". Not shown are the roller trucks and core -- the rollers have long since disintegrated.

I bought a second one that I keep in my office (shame!) and it came in a box (which I keep in a cabinet in the basement), upon which there is a label calling this the Chicago No. 15.
