Ackerman-Gould Triumph embosser

[MIaccord]

Hello,

I am new to the forum. I am an accordion repair technician and today I purchased a large lot of old  accordion repair parts that included a tool called an Ackerman-Gould Triumph. It appears to be a hot leather embosser and it came with a wooden box of monogram dies. It seems to be a complicated machine. How can I test to see if it works? I do some leather work involving accordion belts and straps, so an embosser might be useful for my businss if it works. Does anyone have experience with this machine? Any advice would be appreciated.

Can you post a few pictures of it. I am betting somewhere here has seen 1 & can give you some more info on it. 

 

Thanks.
