Black Tin Press

Black Tin Press

I belive this one was made by the Superior Marking Co. (SMECO), but I can't remember why... It's also older than it looks, if my failing memory is any guide. Ah well. Stuff like this really makes me think of Philadelphia in the 40's.

Update:
Further research (OK, I saw this info on eBay, with pictures of the box and instruction manual) reveals that this press was made by THE CINCINNATI TIME RECORDER CO in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Slogan on the box: "Active Youth Promotes Robust Manhood."

And it's called The Automatic Rotary Printer, No. 2, so perhaps it's the "cheaper" version of the Cast Iron Rotary Press.
