Saved from the Scrapper
There’s a nice story here about a 1911 Chandler & Price being saved from scrap yard, and installed in a museum…

I recently discovered a rural Michigan turn-of-the-century print shop exhibit in the Michigan State University museum, near my house. Sadly, there’s next to zero reference to it on their website, and it could certainly be a working-exhibit. I’ve been thinking about contacting administrators there and asking about doing some demonstrations. They have a nice Washington press, and an old proof press, that was either an older Vandercook, or Challenge. I couldn’t see the name from my vantage point, and it was slightly obscured.
