At the photolab business I worked at for many years the owner's first job was in a drafting department for a power company. He had plesant memories of the place. He found a really nice antique drafting table and mechanical arm and a fancy antique lamp that went with it. All really cool looking. So he bought it, and put in at the lab.
In analog photography, if a tiny speck of dust in on the film, it leaves a white spot on the print. On a custom print, we would go in with special spotting dyes, and a tiny brush and add color to the dust spot. It would pretty much vanish if done right. We used that table to spot photos and not much else.
When the business shut down due to digital photography changing everything, it did not sell at the auction even for a dollar. It went to the dumpster and the landfill.
