This is not my picture but mine is identical(except mine has a regular handle not a torque wrench). Looks like a pacific of some sort. Markings on both sides. One side "SUPER" other side "DELUXE".
Any idea how old she is?
Any idea what she is worth?
Thanks for the info

It is a Pacific Super-Deluxe, circa 1962.

Heres another one.

Here is another piece of info and a cool site too. Check out the last posting in this link. Author lists a Super Deluxe from 1962.

I have a Pacific standard C press that I recently refinished.

Couldn't find any blue hammertone paint so it's gold. Not sure what to do with it.

These presses seem to sell fairly cheap on ebay. Mine came from a flea market years ago for $20 with about 5 rams.
