Description

The listing, antique reading pacer has ended.

This was once used to help teach people speed reading. You wind it up and set the speed you want to start at. When you start it, the paper scroll will move up at the set speed. You are supposed to follow along reading across the line in the center of the viewing area. As you get better, you slowly increase the speed until you have mastered the highest setting.

This works perfectly and is in pretty good condition considering it's age. This isn't light, so the shipping is a guess. If I can ship this for less, I will refund the excess.

Do you have any other scrolls for it?

OMG....My mother made me read on one of these every day after school. I would like to get this and give it to her as a gag gift.
