The Hungarian David Gestetner invented in 1881 the mimeograph machine. Because of the stencil machine it was possible for anyone to print something easily and fast. The inventor was at the base of the Gestetner factory that in the 20th century supplied stencil machines all over the world. Especially in the years 1920-1960 the factory was doing very well. With the purchase of this machine, you get a great piece of printing history in your house. It is a beautiful object to put somewhere in your home. If you want to get started with the machine then it is helpful to know that the machine has not been used for a while, but that the machine is still running around. Because the machine is very heavy, a local pick up is preferred.
