Secondly, there was a big box and inside was 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 mimeograph masters seem a little aged so I'm not sure that they'll work.
About the smell. Yes, the smell of the freshly printed mimeographs is of course the most important thing. The fact is that I have bad cold today and I can't tell if the masters have the right smell or not. Stay tuned.
BTW, does anyone know what gave them that fantastic smell and how I could reproduce it?
