I have a 19" wide (daylight) Challenge table top guillotine in very
nice condition for sale, that comes together with with a countertop
height custom-built wooden stand on locking casters. It is a hand-
operated model, that features a safety lock to keep the arm up and
out of the way, which must be manually pressed before cutting.
It only has the one blade, but it has been very well taken care of;
I've only had it sharpened by professionals who use a water-cooled
honing machine. I've owned it for about 5 years, during which it
was lightly used, and obtained it from someone who used it in a
similar manner for many years.
I believe is a late 60's- 70's model; while no date is given, the
original manufacturing plate is still intact which features the
Serial No. 20433, Size No. 193, and Model No. HL.
The guillotine is currently located at the Pyramid Atlantic Arts
Center in Silver Spring, MD.

I cannot move it, so arrangements to pick it up must be made.
My asking price is $600, firm.
