Retorts

Now retorts are those old distillation apparatus used during the 1600's by alchemist.It is however is no longer used today. Does anyone know how much is one worth?
I may as well buy one to experience how it was to use 1600's technology. And experence how it feels like to use an alchemist equipenment.

I bought one once, and it cost about 25 Euro or US dollar (fifty marks during the old days). they are actually extremely useful, for any low-tech distillation purposes. used it for HNO3, Acetaldehyde and EtOH..
