Title: Gestetner Three.
Post by: Dayvad on May 29, 2013, 11:20:58 AM
Hello,

A few months ago I found this old Gestetner duplicator at a garage sale the person selling it had no idea what it was just for the initial cool factor I picked it up for very cheap. But I have have very little progress on learning more about the device and its value.. if anyone here could help me out that would be so fantastic..

From the information I have found it is pre 1920, was serviced by a company in Winnipeg Canada. all other attempts to find similar devices have failed.. sorry

attached are a few picutes.

Leave it to a Hungarian to come up with a good idea... ;)

Apparently, those machines must be highly valued someplace. ???
