This is a Reynolds 1910 envelope sealer.

Okay.

Can you imagine if you work for the power company licking closed a few 1000 power bills a day.

You home?

I I acquired it at an estate sale.

I'd like to sell it because it's taking up space in my house.

I'd like to get about $400.

I would probably spend the money on a birthday present for my husband.

His birthday's next week.

This is really need.

This is something that definitely made a company's business easier when this thing was in proper working order and you had a great operator who was doing 50 to 100 envelopes a minute.

I love it.

I mean, there's things that they did back then.

They don't do today.

I mean, you don't see gold leafing on office equipment anymore and this right here, they could have made this for a little less money, but it wouldn't look good in this time period.

Aesthetics were very, very important.

In the early 19 hundreds, this envelope sealer was actually pretty high tech.

It eventually evolved into an automatic version and today those machines could do 15,000 envelopes of our.

So how did this thing exactly work?

The sticky part of the envelope would be here, fed through this way.

There.

Yeah, Come out.

And then, from what I figured out was that you had to close it, push it through these other Siri's and rollers.

Okay, Erica.

Cool.

So you want to sell it?

I'd like to Yes.

How much you want for it?

I was thinking about 400.

It's more of a decorator thing that it is a collector thing.

I mean, weird little things like this go for a couple 100 bucks in this size.

I'll give you 100 for it.

Can you do 100 half?

Um, I'll tell you what I'll give you 1 25 1 35 1 25 41 35 1212 Just because I'm a wonderful human being, I will go 1 31 30 Thanks.

All right.

Follow.

Be able do some paperwork.

Okay.

I took $130 for it because I really just didn't want to have to take it home again.
