Washington "Monogram"

From Foxden Press:

We print on a Washington iron hand press (serial number 612) manufactured in 1876 by the Cincinnati Type Foundry, and generously donated to Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa, by The University of Iowa Center for the Book in 2014. The University of Iowa's School of Journalism was presented with the press in 1954 by John F. Fueling in honor of his father, E.J. Fueling, of the New Hampton Tribune, IA. The inscription on the press states that it "was used almost constantly in the office of the Wheatland Gazette for a period of 55 years after the paper's founding in 1888 by the late F.W. Button."
