not really sure if i want to sell it, just wondering what it could go for.  the ones on e-bay look newer, like from the 1970's or 80's.  its a cool conversation piece.  just a bit curious as to go with it if i do want to get rid of it.

i have a stencil cutter manufactured by the diagraph company out of st. louis, mo.  its last patent is 1905.  i believe it is a 'long bradley improved diagraph stencil cutter'.  it is in working condition, all the dyes work and the paper advances as it should with every stamp.  most of the words on the machine are still legible and there is a lot of bronze colored in-lay in this piece of equipment.  i do not have a picture of it at this time, but it is in very good condition.  it wieghs approximately 80 pounds.  i dont really know what to do with it or where to take it.  if there is anyone who knows anything about these things, i would appreciate some input as to what i should do from here.  please feel free to email me any info about it.  also the serial number is in the low 3000's.
thanks
