Meet the ancestor of the photocopier — back when making copies required patience, ink, and a little faith.

This is a vintage Montgomery Ward Hektograph (gelatin) duplicator, used in schools, churches, offices, and anywhere someone said, “We need 30 copies by tomorrow.” Long before printers jammed, this did the job quietly… and smelled faintly of history.

Made in the USA, when things were built to outlast their owners

Condition:

Vintage wear, age cracks, and character — nothing unexpected

Gelatin pads are present and soft to the touch, but not tested (because it’s 100+ years old, not a time traveler)

Perfect as industrial décor, display, teaching prop, or conversation starter

Who This Is For:

Collectors of early office tech

Teachers, museums, libraries

Decorators who like their furniture with a backstory

Anyone tired of explaining what a “fax machine” was

👉 Sold as-is, honestly described, carefully packed.

👉 If you know what this is, you already want it.

👉 If you don’t… you’re about to own a great story.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed,

shipping is quick and reliable.

Thank you for visiting, and may the Lord be ever present.

For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised him up from the dead, you shall be saved.

Romans 10:9
