Howard Iron Works - Printing and Bookbinding Equipment Restoration and Printing Museum

At any given time, our Restoration Team works on several projects simultaneously. For historical and archival purposes, our HIW photographer diligently takes pictures during the restoration and documents the various processes each machine is being put through. We have compiled the photos in a photo gallery for each machine. We hope you enjoy them.

We offer our restoration services to others, and will also complete machines that can be either purchased or leased for use or as beautiful displays

Our 1886 Golding Jobber #7 is the most recent platen press to join the restored press roster in the HIW Collection. The Golding Jobber is famous for the elaborate decorations, and this one doesn't disappoint and takes it to the next level of ornateness - thanks to our paint artist, Chris. With each brushstroke, Chris carefully transforms the intricate decorative features back to their original painted perfection.

Featured here is the restoration of the 1886 Golding Jobber #7.
