Web08-153 W.M. SHARP CO. dental crown press. Patented in 1903 by William Sharp and designed to form metal crowns of various sizes. 10" high and 6-1/2" wide and impressively hefty; nickeled cast iron with brass plates including the manufacturing and patent information. The nickel is largely worn off and there is some cleanable surface rust, but still an impressive device and the perfect paperweight for your favorite dentist's office. (HSS)
