Second Bell Counterfeit Seal Press

Second Bell presses began life marking inspection dates on coolant drums. This one has a filed registration plate, six trays of questionable dies, and a heater wrapped in cloth-insulated wire. Feed it sealing foil and a sample impression; the screw press produces a respectable copy once the operator learns how much pressure the cheap alloy will take. Too little leaves soft edges. Too much cracks the die and brands the workbench. The kit smells of hot wax, metal dust, and somebody else’s crime. It fools hurried dockhands, not forensic desks. Buyers usually need it for one container and discover, several years later, that owning the press is harder to explain than the cargo ever was.
