This 1961 manual mimeograph machine is part of the collection of old educational technology curated at http://www.retroedtech.com. It was manufactured by Standard Rocket. It's a 1961 Standard Rocket mimeograph machine with a few dozen Copy-rite Spirit Master Units and two standard wicks (I'm not entirely sure what they are). The machine is hand cranked and appears to be in working order. The stencils seem a little dried out as in, I can't detect that old smell that so many of us associate with school mimeographs.
