Comb Section Press

[vholcomb]

I am the collections assistant at a small museum, and we have just received a collection of antique beekeeping tools. The collection includes a comb section press and the comb sections used with it. I am looking for any information someone can give me on: how the comb section press was used (with the comb sections), as well as any information on beekeeping from the 1880s to the 1920s or 30s. Thank you very much.

One of my many bee books (printed within the last 10 years) had a chapter by the author about making your own foundation press and then how to use it. I can't find which on it is but you should be able to search amazon.com or something similar for those words and find the book. If I run across it I'll repost here.
