Ahhh, those newspaper printing presses. They were made the same way horseshoes were made. A lot of press. A lot of...hey/hay. But unfortunately for the industry, cars came along.

Their value deflated over time, until today, where they exist solely as museum pieces and one-offs for hobbyists. And farriers.
