Another - what the heck is this thing?

Post by briankeith »

What was this actually used for? The EBay seller has been trying to sell this big Edison Shaver for months. Dictating machine? Interesting piece.

Looks like a shaver for the longer business cylinders. Thanks for the photo, it's interesting. Jerry Blais

I had one of these back in the 80s, in near-perfect condition, but with missing belts like this one. It took me 6 months to sell it for $100!

I was watching that shaver as well - he just wants way too much for it.
