Presses

Antique Kelsey Mercury Model 5×8 Excelsior Tabletop Platen Press

In 1872, the Kelsey Company began making inexpensive presses for amateur printers. The longest lasting press manufacturer on the market, the company closed its doors in Meridian, Connecticut, in 1990. This particular press is estimated to have been produced between 1930 and 1950. Its unique side lever makes it a standout amongst other Kelsey presses.

For your event, Noosh! Studios can bring this press and allow guests to pull their very own print! This is a very fast printing press. When printing at full speed, it can do about 100 prints per hour. 

With this press, Noosh! Studios can interact with approximately 30 guests per hour.

**Another nearly identical press is also available. The only difference is that it does not have the side lever and is operated by handle on the front of the press.
