Antique Cast Iron Press Cigar/Tobacco Buncher Roller

This was actually used to roll/bunch the tobacco in cigars and was used in Red Lion Pa which had many cigar factories at the turn of the century. . It is still a little dirty and needs cleaned up and has some rust but everything works nicely. The curved plate that the cloth rides on just sets on the frame and is removable. There is a chip out of the one corner of the curved piece--see pic.Then plate still snaps in place just fine. The rolling cloth needs replaced. Signed Winget Mach.Co York Pa USA Pat May 1902. The upper curved plate the cloth rides on is 6 3/8" wide, the cloth is 4" wide. Overall size is 14" by 10" by 10" deep.
