Mu friend picked up a Printex Tripod the other day. Trying to learn more about it--also what it might be worth. Can't find anything on Google, LFF, or APUG.
Anyone know anything about these?
It's a semi-heavy duty wooden affair with a beefy wooden head. Made in pasadena California by Printex, who also made a press camera and an enlarger (we found info in those). But nothing on the tripod.

How about a picture.
I have access to a Printex 4X5, not that helps, but maybe the 2 should mate...

That's a very common tripod. I have one right here. No name plate.
Be careful actually using it as the three little ears on mine that hold the platform head to the tripod are a weak point and one is broken off. They are bad cast aluminum.
The Printex name plate is the collectible!

Was the tripod sold under other brand names? How to google more info on it?

I think Kodak and Graflex also distributed them.
Perhaps try Google image search?
Look at wood tripods on eBay
Some people like the tripod. I do not. Works best in deep grass, like a golf course.
I do know one user that likes his.
