AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Interesting Carasso screw-operated hand press from the 1950s, built with a robust cast-iron frame and metal mechanical components.
This type of press was used professionally in tailors’ shops, haberdasheries and upholstery workshops, mainly for manufacturing and covering buttons in fabric or leather.
By using appropriate interchangeable dies it could also be used for different pressing operations, such as applying eyelets, rivets and snap-fasteners.
The body bears the raised inscription “CARASSO,” clearly visible on the casting.
The press retains its characteristic beige/creamy finish and shows numerous surface marks, scratches and paint loss due to use and the passage of time, which attest to its nature as an authentic workshop tool.
The large central screw is operated by the long upper metal lever. The mechanism is movable and the screw turns smoothly.
Dimensions:
* Maximum height: about 29 cm
* Base length: about 19 cm
* Base depth: about 8 cm
* Length of the upper lever: about 24 cm
Conditions: generally good vintage condition, with evident signs of use and wear of the finish, as detailed in the photographs.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and accurately show the object's condition.
The press will be carefully packaged and protected for shipping.
