They called this a writing desk at the auction, but I thought it might have something
to do with printing. After a lot of research, I found one online! This was called a duplicator, and used a method similar to mimeograph. There is a pencil like stylus
called a Cyclostyle and it would perforate tiny holes into the paper when placed atop
the metal grooved plate. Then you would use the roller to ink the page and make a
duplicate copy. Also comes with two tiny bottles, one is Lubricating oil and the other
is obliterating fluid. Very unusual find! SOLD!
