What do we have here?
It's a 1913 blueprint copy machine by the CF Pease
Company in Chicago, Illinois.
This is really, really, really cool.
This was like a game changing machine.
This was mass produced blueprints.
Because after this, they came up with an ammonia
process, which was a lot safer.
But your plans always smelled like ammonia.
Remember those? - Yeah.
Yeah, I do, actually.
So you're as old as me.
I'm coming in today to try to sell my 1913
blueprint copying machine.
I want to sell the blueprint machine
because my wife doesn't like it in our front room of our house.
She said it doesn't match the furniture.
I told her to get new furniture, but she's not having that.
It's a really neat system, I really dig it.
It was finally a way for people to make inexpensive blueprints.
You know, you'd have your trace paper across the front here,
and then you'd have your chemically treated paper
over it.
Then you would roll that close.
Great.
It rolls closed.
And that would pull it against there.
And then it would blast the light on it.
You would-- there's like a razor blade
system or something like that.
It would slice it off.
And then it would go into a washing machine.
And then it would go into a dryer.
It could do one a minute, but it was like, 10 minutes before it
got done with the process.
This is chemistry nerd gold right here.
The thing is, what do you want to do with it?
I want to sell it.
How much do you want for it?
Well, the only other one I've seen one for $18,000,
so I was thinking $12,000.
You're not going to see another one here.
I know I'm not going to see another one.
It will take me forever to find a buyer.
I mean, I'll give you $1,000 for it, dude,
but that's what I'd do.
I mean, I just don't know when it will sell or if it'll sell.
Can you go up to three?
I'll give you 1,000 bucks.
All right, 1,000 bucks.
All right, I am an absolute moron, probably.
But it's really cool.
No.
All right, let's go do some paperwork.
All right, great.
Settling on $1,000 for the blueprint machine
just because I don't want to have to take it home
and I don't want to listen to my wife after I do take it home.
