That's exactly what it was for, shipping tape that had glue on it. I used one of these exact machines taping up boxes in the shipping and receiving dept of a store I worked in. This is going back to the late 1970s but I'm sure they were used well after that.
I'll admit it too, so do I! Brings back memories of pre-desktop computer days. I do like the play of light and shadow though, pretty cool.

That would be neat to see in the winter when it's frozen solid. That freeze/that cycle must be brutal on the foundation.

Not even the decorations from Snoopy's doghouse could make that tree look good.

Ahhhh, the end of an era indeed. Very sad. Personally, I prefer the land yachts.

Detroit really does have some amazing architecture.
Being the avid Wurlitzer (and Seeburg) jukebox collector and restorer the majority of my adult life, I was thrilled to see this new gallery. Can't wait to see the inside photos.

These are the ball returns; a person near the pins would roll them back up the gutters and the ball would come to rest on the bumper at the end of the wooden lane.

I was wondering what that vial was for, cool thanks!

George has it correct. Though they look a little different, these are still used today and quite handy indeed!
YES! Thank you so much for a new Gallery + a tour of this Wurlitzer Building.
Saw that too, on Google Earth Street View, John R Str., that the other side was plain sleek - like it is two buildings in one.
However - the 8 panes, 6 panes, 2 panes window arrangement, left + 4 panes and 2 panes right, is what is happening,
+ that pretty "BRICK-Arch". Understated.
YES. Very well done. Pretty proportions - good sleek look - but still ornate.
Ohhhh
This can´t be good.
