From Smithsonian:
This self-inking lever press was made by the Kelsey Press Company of Meriden, Connecticut during the mid-twentieth century. The press has a height of 18 inches a width of 12 inches and a length of 23 inches; its chase measures 5 inches by 8 inches.
William A. Kelsey started making inexpensive presses for amateurs in 1872, as a calculated challenge to the three existing amateur presses: the Novelty, the Cottage, and the Lowe. Kelsey’s Excelsior became the longest-lasting press on the market, continuing in production from Meriden until 1990. Its basic mechanical form—a toggle lever—was settled by 1874, though the style of the body changed many times over the next 100 years. Another long-lasting feature of the early press was a chase with closed bottom in the form of a tray, to save the amateur from pied type.
