Description
A vintage manual guillotine-style paper or photograph trimmer featuring a solid wooden base and a pivoting metal cutting arm. The arm is fitted with a turned wooden handle and operates via a hinge at the upper corner. A wooden ruler strip is inset along the top edge of the board, marked with an incremental scale from 5 to 13. The wooden base is stamped with a black ink mark depicting a ship’s wheel with six spokes. Text within the wheel is faded, although characters tentatively reading GERMANY are visible. The item follows a design common to office and school equipment from the early to mid-20th century, similar to those produced by manufacturers such as Dryad or Jay Nay.
Width: 18 cm.
Condition report:
In well-used vintage condition. The wooden components exhibit surface staining, scratches, and some hand-drawn markings. The metal arm and blade show surface oxidation and a dark patina throughout. All primary components appear present and the hinged mechanism is functional, though the sharpness of the cutting edge has not been tested.
