Acorn Press Printing Demo

The mid 19th century Acorn Block Press at the Sarah Elizabeth Shop!

Long before desktop publishing and every home having their own printer, printed items were made using bulky printing machines called block printers.  Come see a demonstration of a block press in action at the Sarah Elizabeth Shop in Rockport. The antique Acorn press was made by the Adams brothers of Boston between 1830 to 1870.
