it's a Bundling Rack

From the time a bunch (half-finished cigar waiting for wrapper leaf) first comes out of the mould until the finished smoke rests in a cigar box waiting for shipment out of the factory, it spends a goodly amount of time in a bundling rack ... a tool designed to help cigar makers and packers count and sort cigars. Like many other cigar tools, racks come in a variety of sizes and types to fit the function and working style of the operator. A goodly number of them are designed to fold compactly, easy to move from place to place, because cigar rollers were often required to provide their own tools, and, in general, were restless young men, frequently moving from factory to factory, town to town, following the demand.
I have this image of a young man in a horse drawn wagon driving slowly up and down the streets crying out " bring out your leaf"

Product Description for: Antique Cigar Press H. Watteyne Pearl St. NY Aug 2 1881

Antique Cigar press measures 23 x 12 x 9 is heavy – about 35 pounds and looks awesome! Overall aging but all looks to be okay – a few of the wooden presses have a chip here and there but still looks to be in good working order. The handle works as it should turning to press. Obviously needs to be cleaned and lubricated but all original. Appears to be cast iron I think.

Brand new Nicaraguan tuck cutters (3 left) for $198. If I didn't have two already I'd buy one right now. It's a great price.

Tragically, 216 Pearl St appears to be a fenced-off, empty lot on Google.

But WEIRDNESS: I found Henry Wattayne's home address in an 1880 directory that lists both his Pearl St work address and his home address, and his home address, in way north Harlem, is ALSO a fenced off, empty lot!

That's going into my cigar blog right now.... :cautious:

Went for $510. Jumped from $202.50 in the last 15 seconds. I would have loved to see what those four molds were all about.
