Press 1:<\/strong> An Adam Ramage Common press # 630.<\/p>\n

[See both presses of Columbia University<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

Robert Oldham (page 38): \u201cAdam Ramage probably built common press # 630 late in his career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaskell mentions (1954, page 173, USA16) a press in the Columbia University (New York). He notes: \u201cBelieved by Mr. Green to be of English origin; but he also says that it has an open hose. Now dismantled pending selection of a permanent site for its display.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaskell (1970, page 31, USA16) notes: \u201cProbably by Ramage; stamped \u2018No 630\u2019; formerly owned by A.T.F.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jane Siegel: \u201cA note in the file quotes from a letter from H.L. Bullen to L.C. Wroth (7 Oct 1929) that the press was imported by a Boston printer named Marvin, ca. 1800-1825, who used it to print the first issue of the Christian Register<\/em>. H.L. Bullen had the press gilded. Belonged to the Franklin Typographical Society of New York until bought by the American Type Founders Library (ATF) in 1925.\u201d<\/p>\n
