Mine looks similar to this one. I picked it up on a sidewalk on Beacon Street near the State House in Boston in the late 1980's. It is solid iron and weights 53 pounds. The platen face is about 8½ x 11 so I can use it for many things. I put any item I am trying to press between two pieces of cardstock as the top part of the press had gotten a little pitted.
