The used machine tool industry developed from the scrap business after World War I. Scrap Dealers in New York, Detroit and Chicago began to understand the hidden value of manufacturing machinery, and rather than scrap the iron, they resold these early machine tools to new customers. These customers usually didn't have the financial means to purchase new, or could not wait for the delivery of a new machine.
This nascent industry began to grow when Thomas Scanlan began publishing the Surplus Record Surplus Record Machinery & Equipment Directoryin 1924. Scanlan was instrumental in guiding these early "junk dealers" into becoming "machinery dealers." Surplus Record devoted pages to the benefits of purchasing used machinery from his handful of advertisers. Machinery dealers on Centre St. in New York, and Lake St. in Chicago, Santa Fe Ave. in Los Angeles, recall how Scanlan would visit with them and convince them to clean, paint and repair their machines in inventory in order to offer more than a machine "As-is, Where is." Customers would travel by train to visit the machinery dealers, and walk up and down the street viewing and making offers on the dealers' inventory. Merchandising and marketing were not a priority to these early streetwise scrap graduates; but Scanlan continued to push advertising and selling a reputable tool to the machinery buyers.
By World War II, the industry became an integral part of the manufacturing community and the war effort. In 1941, Scanlan, was joined by Harold Blumberg, Adams Machinery, Adams Machinery Co., and Sam Danits, Danits Machinery, to start a trade association for used machinery dealers. The Machinery Dealers National Association MDNA, became the voice for many of the leading machinery dealers throughout the United States. After World War II, the organization was critical in guiding the U.S. government in their disposal of surplus war assets in an orderly fashion.
