Vintage Atlas Arbor Press

An old Atlas press, probably from around war time, mid 1940s? What seems to be very original, peeling gray paint and in very good working order. See the catalog images below from the Atlas 1943 catalog.

Machining and assembly of the ram and head are amazingly tight. This one is complete and was somehow never abused.
