Description:
A former Herman Price collection machine (he found a better, much better one, and let this go to me!), this is a caps only telegraph mill which was built for the Postal Telegraph company. You can see in the photos the words Postal Telegraph cast into the frame and the close up of the typeslugs which still shift for special characters but only offer capital letters. The frame is cracked and the machine is in "retired" condition so this will be a display piece until I maybe become quite ambitious. It is super cool though!
