Don't know if it is the same machine, but growing up in the 50's I used to sit and watch my neighbor Mr. Gordon use one very much like this ~ making multiple smokes in one shot. I thought it was the coolest thing at the time!
Even though I smoked for years, I never saw one of these in use. My cousin told me she used to sit & watch her Dad roll smokes at the kitchen table. Whenever she asked if she could try he always said NO, she grew up to be a smoker & still smokes.
I remember seeing people using these too. I think that some people are doing it again now that the price has gone up. I guess there will always be some people who can't quit or don't wish to. Go figure.
Thanks for the L's, official & mrmajestic.
