Editing George E. Clymer (section)

==Final years and legacy==
Clymer made a success of his press-manufacturing business, and spent the rest of his life in England. Although he had made and sold several dozen presses in Philadelphia, there are no surviving American Columbian printing presses. Though they were not exactly the same in design, the Leggett 'Queen' press, made in [[Ipswich]], and the Britannia press, made in [[Leeds]] were designed after Clymer's Columbian press.{{sfn|Mitman|1943|pp=235–236}}{{sfn|Moran|1971|pp=68, 285–286}} The Albion press was also designed as a way of upstaging Clymer's elaborately designed and prestigious press; though the Albion was initially less decorative, an ornate casting of the English royal arms was eventually added as a counterweight, paralleling the iconic and stately spread-eagle counterweight on the Columbian.{{sfn|Moran|1971|pp=68, 285–286}}

While in London Clymer manufactured his printing presses in sizes between what was referred to as "Super Royal" and "Double Royal". They sold for  £100, and  £125 respectively, with variant press sizes and prices in between. In 1820 England saw a depression which adversely effected business sales and subsequently Clymer was compelled to make significant reductions in his asking prices, ranging from £75 to £85.{{sfn|Moran|1973|p=63}}

In 1819 the image of Clymer's printing press was used by the Columbia Typographical Society in Washington D.C., a local union of journeyman printers, as the emblem for their organization, as it represented their republican sentiments in the political realm while also serving as a symbol of national pride in the American printing trade.<ref name=smithsonian>[[#smithsonian|Smithsonian National Museum of American History]], Essay</ref>

A rare early press, currently located at [[Historic Richmond Town]], has been tentatively attributed by historians as the only known press made by Clymer prior to his 1813 design for the Columbian Press.<ref>[[#sihs|Staten Island Historical Society]], Essay</ref>

During the 1800s Clymer's  presses were commonly employed in European printing offices. Today they are often found in various European museums.<ref name=smithsonian/> 

Clymer died in London in 1834 at the age of eighty.{{sfn|Timperley|1842|p=934}}{{sfn|Moore|1886|p=40}} Out of several children he was survived by three daughters.{{sfn|Timperley|1842|p=934}} After his death the Columbian Press continued to be sold by the firm he had established, and it was also made by other manufacturers in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe up until 1913.{{sfn|Moran|1971|pp=68, 285–286}}
