C&P Pilot Old Style

Behold, my new (old) Chandler & Price Pilot Letterpress.

I have wanted one of these for YEARS! Thanks to a good friend who totally hooked me up, I have a new project to work on. Those who know me well, know how much I love restoring stuff like this--much less something that makes beautiful art. I hope to begin breaking it down soon to began rust removal, prime and paint. It needs new rollers and a few other bits and pieces but overall it seems to be intact.

Check back for updates! I plan to upload plenty of pictures and notes as I go through the process.

cant wait to get her working. I spent a few evenings scraping, cleaning, and removing surface rust. Now to figure out how to pay for new rollers and boxcar base. I need a paying project to offset the investment. I'll post some new photos soon.
