Press-zilla (As she is now affectionately called) is still waiting for her stable home (could be next month), so I haven't really messed around with her much. There's a site called Briar Press (http://www.briarpress.org/) that has proof press info, and the Vandercook press site probably has some folks who know Challenge presses, too. (http://vandercookpress.info/vanderblog/other/censuses-2/challenge/) Good luck!Sherrie Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967844327055630854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-32133706142197930392012-04-01T02:22:14.816-04:002012-04-01T02:22:14.816-04:00Hi,

If you do find out anything at all, please advise- not only do I have the press and have never once printed a thing (just launched into letterpress...have a CnP and tiny Baltimore 10) but this press is not all here, yet I don't know and can't find out what's missing. I"ll watch for your reply!<br />Jan Norris, So.

I will do as I did then: stick my fingers in my ears and hum, "not listening, not listening"...<br /><br />(giggle) Cindy, I have unopened pastels in the closet. From probably 15 years ago. One of these days I'm going to pass them to someone else. Gizmo. Suppose that should be its name? Shall I have Elvis and Gizmo? Or Elvis and Bertha?

I was trying to figure out some things about the Vandercook at my print co-op and if the information couldn't be found on the site then all I had to do was post a question and someone would know the answer. Wealth of information to be found there...
