Hohner Hobo-IV
The newest addition to the Devil's Tail Press is a circa 1960 Hohner-IV A5 press made in West Germany by Otto Hohner Maschinenfabrik. This particular model has all the bells and whistles that were provided with this line of machines, the other models I through III had some, but not all of the features of this press. The most unique feature is an ejection feature that knocks the printed item (card stock) into a tray on the side of the press. It will take a bit of refurbishing, but the equipment dealer from whom I purchased it kept the important parts greased and oiled as protection from the salt air of the Pacific Ocean, which was only a few blocks from their shop.
