Sold Antique English 8x10" paper guillotine for sale. Clean, sharp and in good working order.

[HamishKL]

I have a nice old folding English oak paper guillotine for sale. Its age is unknown but likely early 1900s of English make.
Its bakelite ruler has a small semicircular chip out of the front edge, but the unit is otherwise in excellent condition.
Note that it is designed to cut photographic paper and card - which it does well - but it will not cut light papers well unless you apply manual tension to keep the blades tightly together during the cut.
Its maximum paper width is nearly 11 inches, or 26cm, and the ruler indicates up to 8 inches.
On the bottom it has its original rubber feet, which are in good condition also.
Located in New Zealand. All offers considered as it's surplus to requirements.

Have you made inquiries@ at the PO for "ground" rates to the US?
I think this is imperative to know before pricing it.
Thanks

@Gaston 012 it looks like postage to the USA would be around $116NZD / $73USD. The USA is one of the most expensive shipping destinations for some reason, despite being a single flight away.
Sea shipping isn't easily available from NZ I'm sorry.

If anyone in the UK/Europe is interested, shipping would be around £53GBP, or €59EUR

Thanks, yes it is always a problem but the opposite, sending from here, is cheaper.
There is a service called Pirate Ship that gets the best rates. I do not know how they do it but it is cheaper to go through them than to use the services that they use. They give you the cheapest of UPS,FedEx and the PO.
Google it and see if it is available there.
Its worth a try

@Gaston 012 Thanks for the suggestion but it looks like they only do USA>USA shipping.
