Engraving Label Machines

What is the value of an antique film splicer?

I have a Griswold Film Splicer Model T with a serial number engraved on the front. The film splicer also has another label that says "Manufactured by Griswold Machine Works Port Jefferson, N.Y., U.S.A."

There is also an additional tag on the bottom that says:

Griswold Film Splicer
MODEL T PRICE $37.50
Patented Oct. (date scratched out), 1920, April 18, 1922
Aug. 7, 1923 (two) Aug. 24, 1926
MANUFACTURED BY
Griswold Machine Works
Port Jefferson, N. Y., U. S. A.

I was curious if this had any substantial value. I searched for ones like it, but there were no Model Ts, just a lot of Model Rs without serial numbers.

I found just one reference to a Model T being sold but, alas, when I tried to follow the link it just lead to a file not found message. And no Google Cache.

Theory of Machines $11.87 This is Frost's first release for the Icelandic Bedroom Community Label. At 26 he has already released such critically-lauded works as 2003's guitar exploration LP, Steel Wound on the Room40 Label, which Pitchfork Media USA marked as "An exemplary ambient experience", and the harrowing, self-titled 2005 opus School of Emotional Engineering, which Db Magazine called "...An atmospheric masterpiece". In addition to his solo work, Frost produces his work internationally in various forms including gallery-based installations, scores commissioned for film, dance and multimedia productions (for the likes of The Icelandic Dance Company and as part of A/V installation collective Cicada) and collaborative works, remixes and productions for artists such as Bj?rk, Steintryggur, Neotropic, Lawrence English, Stars Like Fleas and Ai Yamamoto. A resident of Iceland, Ben Frost operates primarily in Greenhouse Studios in Reykjav?k under the wing of producer and founder of the Bedroom Community label/collective Valgeir Sigurdsson. Theory of Machines fully exploits the sonic resources of this unique environment with collaborators such as Valgeir and Sigtryggur Baldursson (The Sugarcubes). 2007.

These Humble Machines $11.18 After reinventing himself as more of a headphone artist with 2006’s glitchy album This Binary Universe, BT takes it a step further on These Humble Machines, an album that explores the producer’s love of freedom and exploration. This is actually the single-disc, slightly shortened version of the two-disc These Hopeful Machines, but just like its parent, most tracks here build, fade away, morph, and wander about with little care for what radio, clubs, or a major label might require. Fans who enjoy the glitch-meets-trance textures of Universe will find even more to love here, and more songs, too, as BT, the returning JES, and a handful of guest vocalists deliver the usual lyrics filled with modern mysticism. Riding “Suddenly” from its crunchy, avant opening to its Black Eyed Peas-like middle and on to its glitch-fueled flame-out is exciting, while the closing take on the Psychedelic Furs’ “The Ghost in You” is a different trip, something akin to calmly floating in an ‘80s pop hit for five minutes. “Forget Me” combines alt-rock angst and field recordings to great effect, while “Le Nocturne de Lumiére” creates a dream world out of thumb pianos and thumping house beats. Listeners who don’t mind so many devices and left turns must still be predisposed to BT’s airy, big-sky style of electronica to get the most out of this long, involved journey. These Humble Machines doesn’t try to convince; it’s meant to reward the already converted with a vast wonderland of melodic glitch and prolonged bliss. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi

The Life of the Machines $15.18 EDA's The Life of the Machines (called "Live of the Machines" on the CD's label printing) is an interesting and ambitious program of "mechanistic" piano music composed between 1916 and 1948. Pianist Vladimir Stoupel, based in France, is a frequent participant in the New York Philharmonic's chamber music concerts, Bargemusic performances, the Helsinki Festival, and other internationally based music events. He has recorded the complete piano music of Schoenberg and Scriabin and, with violist Thomas Selditz, the complete music for viola and piano of Henri Vieuxtemps. All of these works have been recorded before except for the Wladislaw Szpilman; most famous as the historical subject of Roman Polanski's film The Pianist (2002), the suite The Life of Machines (1935) is a rare and early example of Szpilman, who composed hundreds of pop songs, delving into the realm of the ultra-modern. EDA's recording is excellent, and despite the existence of viable alternatives to these selections, when it comes to this shadowy end of the modern repertoire, the more the merrier. While Stoupel's interpretations of all these works are strong, the Mosolov and Antheil items stand out as especially so. Antheil's late Piano Sonata No. 4 (1948) really isn't in his "mechanistic" idiom, though in a superficial sense may sound so as he borrows from his own Airplane Sonata as a kind of germ for its thematic content. The sonata is a Los Angeles piece par excellence, and Stoupel's more metronomic reading misses a bit of the boogie-woogie feel that permeates the first movement, but taken on its own is a strong conception in itself. One of the strengths in this recital is its sense of separateness; Stoupel does not play these works quite the way others have done, and there is a sense of homogeneity to the collection as a whole.Copy editing of the booklet note seems to have been a major problem with this issue; at least one sentence of the text is lacking its ending, and the book is peppered with little errors such as references to Honegger's Pacific 213, Avery Fischer Hall, and the like. Antheil's Death of the Machines is actually titled only "Death of Machine," though this is a common error; however, any perusal of the booklet in this CD will find plenty of uncommon kinds of errors. That is a pity, as Frank Harders-Wuthenow and Andreas Wehrmayer's liner notes, while indulging in some questionable details here and there, are useful and informative in other ways. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi Performers: Vladimir Stoupel - Piano

We Are Not Machines $15.98 The genesis of this album is the score for the film Watch. It objects to the process whereby machines slowly but surely are stifling creative juices to the point of recreating reality in their image. The creator of this album, the music and words, is Bradley Parker-Sparrow. He is co-founder of Southport, the label on which this project is captured. The other co-founder, vocalist Joanie Pallatto, plays the object of Parker-Sparrow's denouncement, viz., the machine. Listening to this album recalls the experimental theater productions of Orson Welles and others during the late '30s and '40s as well as the beat poetry of the '60s -- the vehicle of protest for the beat generation -- so passionate and so self-assured in its righteousness as expressed on "Little John." While Pallatto's voice may represent the machines, it is Parker-Sparrow who plays them: synthesizer, keyboard sampler, and other contrivances that many musicians use to produce ersatz music. In contrast, there are occasional rebellious appearances by acoustic instruments; Tatsu Aoki's bass, Billy Brimfield' trumpet, Pallatto's wooden flute, and Larry Gray on cello come in from time to time, resisting displacement by the dreaded machines. But the most effective and telling instrument is Pallatto's voice, often in wordless vocalizing format. She is the vehicle of evolution from acoustic to electric, starting with the first cut, "Watch," with each successive track representing the persistent takeover by machines, despite sporadic counterattacks. Not only is the machine assailed, but so is another product of poor taste: Eminem. There are two tracks that describe, with explicit lyrics, the distaste for this white rapper and what he represents. There are many other surprises waiting on this CD. This is heady stuff bulging with long overdue chastisements. ~ Dave Nathan, Rovi Performers: Bradley Parker-Sparrow - Loops, Sampling, Voices, Synthesizer, Piano, Piano (Grand), Vocals; Alejo Poveda - Conga, Timbales, Drums; Joanie Pallatto - Wood Flute, Shaker, Rainstick, Keyboard Bass, Ocarina, Tambourine, Flute (Wood), Vocals; John E.

These Hopeful Machines $14.38 After reinventing himself as more of a headphone artist with 2006’s glitchy album This Binary Universe, BT takes it a step further on These Hopeful Machines, an effort that breaks the two-hour mark with only 12 songs. If that sounds like the progressive trance version of Saturnz Return, BT’s magnum opus does share some of the indulgence problems found on Goldie’s epic, but this effort is much more humble. The driving force behind Machines seems to be the producer’s love of freedom and exploration, as most tracks build, fade away, morph, and wander about with little care for what radio, clubs, or a major label might require. Fans who enjoy the glitch-meets-trance textures of Universe will find even more to love here, and more songs, too, as BT, the returning JES, and a handful of guest vocalists deliver the usual lyrics filled with modern mysticism. Riding “Suddenly” from its crunchy, avant opening to its Black Eyed Peas-like middle and onto its glitch-fueled flame-out is exciting, while the closing take on the Psychedelic Furs’ “Ghost in You” is a different trip, something akin to calmly floating in an ‘80s pop hit for eight minutes. “Forget Me” combines alt-rock angst and field recordings to great effect, while “Le Nocturne De Lumiere” creates a dream world out of thumb pianos and thumping house beats. Listeners who don’t mind so many devices and left turns must still be predisposed to BT’s airy, big-sky style of electronica to get the most out of this long, involved journey. These Hopeful Machines doesn’t try to convince, it’s meant to reward the already converted with a vast wonderland of melodic glitch and prolonged bliss. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi Performers: BT - Toy Piano, Arp 2600, Analogue Synthesizer, Dulcimer (Hammer), Kalimba, Vocals (Background), Bass, Guitar (Acoustic), Vocals, Drums, Guitar, Guitar (Classical); Amelia - Vocals (Background); Brain - Drums; Christian Burns - Vocals (Background), Vocals; Greg Collins - Guitar; Jes - Vocals; Kaia Transeau - Vocals; Kevin Sawka - Drums; Kirsty Hawkshaw - Vocals; Matt Lange - Percussion; Rob Dickinson - Vocals
