According to ebay seller:
I am offering an antique, early 1900's cast iron " Handy No. 2" Book Binding Press, produced by R.H. Smith Manufacturing Co., in Springfield, MA. Very solid and quite heavy. This item has a wonderful patina, and does not contain any cracks or breaks. It measures approximately 13" long, 8" wide, and 8" high when the press is in it's downward position. It operates smoothly, driven by a 8 3/4" wheel.
Sold for
US $210.99 another for US $330

Mine is an identical item but smaller a Handy No1. and is 5" wide. Is it a book press being so small? Why would it have come out of a machine shop?? Also to my knowledge book presses don't have an extended table.
It was patented in 1904.
