Vintage Tensile Strength Machine Sparks Heated Debate on 'Bares für Rares'

Sven Deutschmanek's patience was tested on a recent episode of 'Bares für Rares'. The object causing the tension? A vintage tensile strength testing machine, valued by Sven between €250 and €350, but the seller insisted on €100.

The machine, made of brass and metal, was demonstrated by Sven using a simple paper strip. It was used to measure the strength of paper, dating back to the period between 1915 and 1930. The machine's origin was the laboratory of the seller's wife.

Horst Lichter, initially struggling to identify the machine, made sarcastic remarks that irritated Sven. The tension unfolded in the Wednesday edition of the show.

The tensile strength testing machine, despite its age and purpose, sparked a heated debate between Sven Deutschmanek and Horst Lichter. Its value remains a topic of discussion, with Sven valuing it higher than the seller's asking price.
