I hope you were wearing a mask. That is a steal!
As far as the manufacturer is concerned, are there any markings on the legs. Be sure to look on the inside of the leg on the casting. My press is Beraducci Brothers from McKeesport, PA and their name is in the casting. It is a very old press, probably 80 years or so.
I looked. Didn’t see anything. Will look a little closer.
I was cruising Craigslist “for sale” section, with the search criteria of “wine” and this popped up:

It’s a 4 gallon ratcheting press. Used twice. I did a little research and these typically go for $350-ish dollars new. Got it for $80. Yay me!
So anyone have an idea who makes this press?

Very nice find Jim, what's the reason you want to know who made it, just curious?
To get user manual, directions on use and cleaning... that sort of thing. I know I’ll need some additional blocks. Can get them at my lhbs.
