Harris (1972, page 47): \u201cThe Canton press (USA 22) is more of a mystery and may have been assembled from different sources. It was said to have been used by Canton\u2019s first printer Peter Kaufman, who came from Philadelphia in 1831, and either to have been made in Canton or brought from Philadelphia. Today the press has lost its spindle and hose but gained an extra platen. The more incomplete platen and the cheeks are very much like Ramage\u2019s, but two short ladders of notches cut into the plank and the diagonal set of the nut in the head recall Goodman\u2019s press, while the rounce and second platen are unlike any others. Extra screw holes in the sides of the carriage suggest that there was once a different rounce. When I examined the press the mortises of the cheeks and forestay were still packed with the relics of a printer\u2019s trade in Philadelphia \u2013 batches of cards printed for the local tradesmen. The cards date stylistically from the 1820s and 1830s and suggest that at least those parts of the press came from Philadelphia with Peter Kaufman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
