SS manufacturing equipment

[Hapur]

next pic is from friend's workshop. Again drill press, clearly marked - forced labor camp (jail) year 1987. Cesis, Latvia. So like I said before it was and still is common practice, that manufacturing equipment is produced in jails/forced labor camps.

I have some more equipment - metal guillotine marked SS camp something on manufacturer shield in warehouse, marked 1942. Will "dig" it out later in spring.

Excellent!
Now can you please post some pictures of the machine I.D. plates on your machines as per post #24 of this thread.

Have not found any yet. Maybe there is some under paint. On few machines visible rivet holes, something is removed.

If the jewelry manufactures marked their stamping presses with the same symbol as the ring it produced then where are all the ones with skull plates? Why would you need that many ring presses for one type ring? Would you not just swap out dies? In my opinion the logo is that of a company and has nothing to do with the Schutzstaffel.

I do not think the press in question was necessarily for making rings. It was likely used in equipment manufacturing as Hapur mentioned earlier, the kantinenring die plates and presses were used by jewelers, Yes, they swapped the plates out- the plates were small, and in many different patterns, westwall, skulls, etc. I do not think there ever was an SS kantinenring plate (that I know of- I’ve nver heard of or seen one) the very rare ss rings we see with the black enamel were all handmade private purchase rings, hand crafted, finished and sized by the jeweler. A hollow backed SS rune ring made by a die press- not sure... you will find hollow backed ss enamel rings yes, but those are period blanks that the jewler made into a private purchase ring.

so much wishful thinking..

You got it wrong. Jewelry makers has nothing to do with marking these presses. They even do not have technical capabilities to do this.
Runes were cast in iron when presses were manufactured. Those are just presses, not meant to be specially for jewelry maker etc. These presses could be in any factory, any workshop were stamping/pressing/punching/bending small parts was involved. Sure jewelers also used them.

OK, if it's not jewelry you are talking about then please show me a picture of one piece of SS equipment that used this type of runes?
