Westman & Baker Hand Platen Press - Toronto, Ontario
Age: 1882, Serial No. 458, Bed size: 10" x 15"
Few printing machines were manufactured in the Dominion of Canada. This Westman & Baker is a virtual copy of George Gordon’s “New Style” platen. Built in Toronto, W & B also manufactured paper cutters of the hand lever design and were also very similar to those produced by the Howard Iron Works of Buffalo, NY.
