A Rare Neo-Cyclostyle Duplicating Apparatus by Gestetner English, Late Victorian Period, Circa 1890 A rare and unusually complete Neo-Cyclostyle duplicating apparatus by the Gestetner Company, preserved in its original oak case and accompanied by an impressive group of period accessories and instructional material. Developed during the late nineteenth century, the Neo-Cyclostyle was among the earliest practical systems for the duplication of correspondence and commercial documents. The oak case displays a rich, well-aged patina and retains its original gilt-lettered manufacturer's plaque to the front and certification label to the interior. The duplicating frame remains complete with its original glazed stencil holder and locking clips and retains a manuscript stencil dated 1922, providing a fascinating record of the machine's continued use. Included with the apparatus are a Gestetner Rollerpoint stylus, a boxed Gestetner pen, the original composition roller with turned mahogany handle, instructional manuals, and a folder of Gestetner Cushion Sheets. The survival of such accessories and documentation considerably enhances the historical and collector appeal of the set. Complete examples of this nature are increasingly difficult to find and offer particular appeal to collectors of scientific instruments, printing history and early office technology. Good antique condition overall, with expected wear, light oxidation and age-related marks commensurate with use. The original stencil assembly remains present within the frame. Untested and offered as a historical and display piece.
