Boston Press

W. Harth & Co.

Printing with Style

A beautiful printing press, “compact” and equipped with two ink rollers, manufactured several decades ago in Frankfurt am Main. Even though the name sounds British.
Notice the sign: back then, the “Co” was still written with two upward strokes.

It is currently being inspected and cleaned in our workshop. The rollers, which are missing here, will soon be replaced with brand-new ones.

You will receive “your” W. Harth & Co. with a basic set of filling material and closing tools.

Feel free to ask us about this Boston pot from W. Harth & Co.

Boston Tiegel “BuS”

mal ein anderer als HOBO1

In unserer Werkstatt steht ein Boston Tiegel “BuS”, der gerade sorgfältig überholt wurde. Er hat das selbe Format wie der beliebte HOBO1. Ist aber seltener

Wir nehmen die Boston Tiegel vorsichtig und liebevoll auseinander, damit kein Teil übersehen wird. Fehlt etwas oder ist dem Zahn der Zeit anheim gefallen, wird es fachmännisch ergänzt.

Fragen Sie jetzt danach.

We picked up this big brother of the smaller HOBO (link here) from a garage. One very important reason for the 220-kilogram press is that it still looks good.
And it’s just wonderful to work with. We cleaned it, gave it three new ink rollers, tested it and printed with it. But see for yourself:

A really great Boston that we really enjoyed testing. This Hohner Boston Hobo1 platen press was lovingly cleaned in our workshop. EXTRA: We gave it new rollers. So you can print and print and… you know.

Because you always know what you have

This beautiful Hohner Boston Platen in A5 format has spent its life to date in southern Germany. Surrounded by romantic landscapes and friendly people.

Initially it was used for a lot of printing, then it was only exhibited for viewing.
We have dismantled this fine Boston platen, cleaned it, checked it and printed on it to our complete satisfaction.

Abzugspresse
Hohner HOKO I

liebevoll “Nudel” genannt

Sie kennen das, fertig gesetzt, alles fein. Aber man möchte doch noch mal kurz einen Korrekturabzug haben. Den Tiegel einrichten dauert.
Aber mit dieser schönen Abzugspresse, “nudeln” Sie das Papier auf den eingefärbten Druckstock. Einfach so – und können Ihrem Kunden zeigen, wie es aussieht.

Wir haben die Abzugspresse verkauft. Sehen Sie sich bei uns um – wir haben noch eine größere im Angebot.

We already have a Hohner Boston platen in A5 format here. Both Boston platens are real working machines. Not quite as beautiful as their older brothers and not as delicate either – but hey, you want to print with them. Right?
We picked up this big brother of the smaller HOBO (link here) in a cellar. One very weighty reason for the 220-kilogram platen is that it looks almost like it came from the shop. It has rarely been used and has new rollers. Rarely, but sold here with this Hohner is a second locking frame, which is also new. A large platen with which you can print almost anything – even A3 posters (twice ;.))
So you can print and print and .… You already know.
… this table top is already sold – perhaps you’ll take a look to the smaller one? (link here)
