Miles Griffiths Antiques Ltd has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
Designed as a book preens but would be an ideal flower press too. The treen wooden handle is used to apply the final spring pressure, once the wind down wheel is in place. Just a very well engineered antique book / flower press in superb condition.
