VERY RARE BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE. ART DECO PRINTING PRESS THE LEDA NUMBERING MACHINE W LETHABY & Co LTD, LONDON. THIS IS THE VERY RARE MODEL CALLED THE LEDA MADE BY W LETHABY & CO LTD APPROX 90 YEARS AGO IN THE 1920s (I BELIEVE THE COMPANY TO STILL BE GOING TODAY AND MAKING NUMBERING SYSTEMS). LOOKS STUNNING IN GLOSS BLACK, BRASS AND GOLD DETAILING, IT’S IN SUPERB CONDITION FOR IT’S AGE, IT DOES HOWEVER HAVE THE MOST MINOR OF MARKS FROM USE AND A SMALL CHIP TO THE BLACK ENAMEL ALONG ONE OF THE TOP EDGES. THE RUBBER ROLLERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT SOMETIME AND NO INK HAS BEEN USED SINCE SO IT’S CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT. IT’S GORGEOUS TO LOOK AT ON DISPLAY WITH IT’S BRASS AND BLACK BODYWORK WITH COMPANY LOGO STILL IN PLACE. THE LAST IMAGE IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY AND GIVES AN IDEA OF WHAT THEIR NUMBERING PRESS MACHINES WERE FOR. ANTIQUE MACHINES LIKE THIS, OF THIS AGE, QUALITY AND BEAUTY, IN THIS CONDITION DON’T TURN UP EVERYDAY, THAT IS IF YOU CAN EVEN FIND ANOTHER ONE! IT IS VERY HEAVY AND WEIGHS OVER 21Kg.
