    Very nice work and it brings back memories of my mother. She had one of these embossing presses that looked very similar to this one. She was a notary public in Chicago in the 50’s and the stamp itself was round and brass with her name on it and “Notary Public, Chicago, Illinois” but the body of the press looked just like this one with the scrolled gold leafing on the side. I think the press was much older than the stamp. I remember playing with it as a kid, “notarizing” every piece paper I could find. I was fascinated with it. It seemed almost magical. I’d forgotten all about it some 50 years later, so thanks for bringing a tear to my eye.
    Beautiful restoration.
    Edit: Fun side story, I got in trouble one time for notarizing my math homework. I sucked at math and knew I got some answers to the equations wrong, so I just notarized it with the press. The mean teacher can give me all the red checks she wanted, it’s already been notarized now hasn’t it? The math teacher called my mother and asked if she’d “notarized” my homework and all hell broke loose.
    My mother took her embossing machine away from me and hid it. I never saw it again. Oh well, it was worth a shot.
    Ironically, for as bad at math as I was, I later became a mechanical engineer. Solving problems wasn’t that hard, I just didn’t like my math teacher as a kid in school. I learned it slowly on my own, my way.

      Thank you for your beautiful comment I’m so glad that it has brought some joy and happiness to you. your comment alone has spurred me on for the New Year. I had no idea that the press would bring so many memories back to so many people it’s been an absolute pleasure connecting to everyone. May you have a wonderful new year. Oh and I read your message the my partner and even she had a tear in her eye. 😊😊

      @@restorationvideos, Thank you so much and I’m glad you’re getting some nostalgic comments due to your dealing with older iron restorations. I’ve read a few here who question whether you’ve destroyed the “monetary value” of something by restoring it?
      Monetary value? Embossing presses are a dime a dozen left as is and nobody really “invests” in such antiques anymore. Their value lays in the memories they hold, to people who had them in their life at some point. Your restoration videos spark memories. THAT is the value in them. It’s also valuable to you in your passion in exercising your artistic talent. A win, win.
      I’m old-school. Modern kids don’t appreciate history or old things cast in iron, they’re so busy on their computers looking up the latest generation of plastic crap and electronics, that they don’t have time for grandmother’s “things” rotting in the attic or landfill. The new generation’s view of “antiques” might be the first Atari video game. Let’s see? Should it be restored to original condition a hundred years later? I think not. Long forgotten, the memories are as well. Memories are so temporary these days.
      But, the older generation still remembers antiques and respects them as heirlooms or just memories of the past we touched. No internet to cloud your appreciation of things by distraction from what you’ve personally experienced.
      So when you restored the embossing press, you restored a memory in me and others like me. What could you sell that for? Nothing, but the time and patience it took to bring the machine back to life, is priceless to so many of us. We thank you.

    I love it. a simple yet complex device. Made to last and hopefully now it will survive another hundred yrs or so. Plastic lasts a long time, but it’s not as pretty nor can it be filed and scraped back to it’s former self. I admire the engineers of yesteryear who designed and made such beautiful things. I think for me a printing press worked by a foot treadle is one of the greatest and over looked inventions. Poetry in motion
    It is my opinion that there are some things that will never be out-moded or improved on.
    Velcro, masking tape, safety pins and rubber gloves.

    This old presses can still be found at car boot sales etc. but modern seals are made with hard plastic dies that are Laser engraved. I know this,because it what i work at. I would say it wouldnt be to much a problem to commission new dies for such old presses. and because the dies are laser engraved, any motif of logo can be put onto it to personalise it to the person who wants it.
    you make the process of restoration look so easy. and with such a simple device as the press, surely anyone can do it, and with my input, they could go to a rubber stamp company and commission a new die.

    I liked the embossed "subscribe" - a nice touch. I notice the lettering was slightly distorted. I find that if the paper is slightly damp it can make a crisper image. Experiment with either dunk-and-blot the paper or use a fine mist sprayer. Depends on the type of paper.

    If you have to remove paint from small metal parts you don't need chemical paint strippers. Put the parts in an old pot, and simmer them in water with a few drops of detergent. The old paint or japaning will slide right off you might have to do a bit of scrubbing in the nooks and crannies. I live in a 150-year-old house I restored all of the hardware in the whole house this way, door hardware, hinges, locks knobs, catches. window hardware, old cast iron furnace Vents and original lighting fixtures. All of it was buried under layers and layers of paint gone with simmering hot water. It was easy the paint comes right off.

    You have done a stunning job making this completely new! It’s is beautiful. I am curious. Do you keep the items or are they for resale? I personally I would have just cleaned it up a bit and kept the ‘antiquity’ of the piece. To me when you take away the imperfections it takes away from its history. That’s just my opinion and I understand that like certain parts of our bodies everyone has one. Lol Beautiful piece nonetheless. 😊

    Dulu waktu saya masih sekolah tehnik menengah (STM) ini namanya praktek kerja bangku (PKB). Sudah 28 tahun yang lalu saya lulus stm sampai sekarang, gak ngerti, kenapa dinamakan praktek kerja bangku? Padahal bukan bangku yang dikerjain?🤔🤔🤔

    The downvote is for using a screwdriver as a punch...

    Congratulations. You have managed to bodge a lovely old item with beautiful patina in a horrific lump of metal without any character. The paint, the casting marks literally all of it is ruined.

      Ahh I’m so sorry you don’t like it but it will be used again saving it from the furnace and landfill where so many of these items end up.
      Research has been done and it’s value was minimal so unwanted. If you have a look at my community posts there are some better after photos that you can view. Thanks for the comment. N911gt2

    The screw is 'seized', not 'ceased'. Being helpful; no offense intended.
