Default Old glass

A friend of mine is a glass smith. He has an opportunity to purchase a unit called the Simpl-filer. It holds flat auto glass patterns from early 1920's to the '50s. Anyone with an idea of what this unit is worth? Apparently is was built in 1947 or '48. As always thank you!!

Sounds like your friend who is a "glass smith" is doing this for a living.
If so then he would have to determine if he would get any return capital no matter what he pays for it.

Yes he is and I totally agree with you. The subject came up as he was cutting a rear quarter window for my coupe.
