This is for George Kleman of AB. The machine appears to be a linotype. By keeping a pot of molten lead going, small sticks of lead were produced with the typeface for newsprint on one end backwards. When complete, a page of news would be put into the printer. In some collector circles, these things can bring a dollar or two. Shades of days gone by.

The Linotype Machines were still used up until the late 1970s then photo typesetting made them obsolete. There are probably not too many around now that work, and have the matrix magazine with the keyed brass matrix. They were quite temperamental. If he is trying to sell it try a graphic arts school or the Graphic arts Union in your area, some have a printing museum. Kim Shuger where did you see a pix of one, I couldn’t find a post for a George Kleman on YT forums maybe they deleted it.
