Lions offer the largest of variety of designs for the figural press collector. Lions range in size from the looped handle which weighs 2 pounds and stands just 7 inches tall with the handle up, to the largest ot the 1904 style which weighs 37 pounds and stands over 23 inches tall.

This looped lion has design features of the early figural presses like those made by Evens and Hall. It may date from the late 1850's, but none of the seals offer information as to the probable age.
Picture
The early 1870's is the likely date for this press. It is lacking the curl found on the curl-on-neck varieties. This big eared Lion is the only one of this variety known.
Picture
This is another Lion that most likely dates from the early 1870's. It, like the previous press, is a sub-category of one.
Picture
The smooth neck natural Lion is a late 19th century arrival. Most of the seals which can be dated are from the 1890's to 1910.
