G'day everyone.

I am selling my etching press! It belonged to my grandmother, but I need to sell it because i am not going to the VCA and i need the money to fund a short film. I have listed it on eBay, but i dont know what it is worth.

Here it is

This Etching press is in very good condition, I just pulled it out and dusted it off. I comes with handwheel and solid steel bed as you can see in the pictures. There is a little rust, but nothing that will be any problem. The rollers are straight, no dents. Feel free to drop by for inspection.


Info:

* Self centring sealed bearings
* 4 spoked wooden Handwheel
* Bed size: 405cm x 902cm Solid steel
* Roller diameter: 110cm Solid steel

I am not sure how to put pic in this forum, but i will give you the link to the eBay page. I am asking 700 - 800 there, but feel free to make my an offer. (or tell me if it is worth more lol)

Cheers
Joel

Is it a branded item like MES or other? you could build the mystique by saying your granny printed works by famous printmakers on it... Wink

Why am I always so late with these things. I'd have bought it like a shot. mind you, collecting it might have been an issue.
