The first edition has been issued as a collectors' replica for $45 currently, but it is called Volume I, indicating that it is not the complete book. The $2000 is silly, no matter what the "local experts" say.
I have an original American Machinists' Handbook 2nd edition 1914 that I bought around 1960, probably for a couple bucks. It is leather bound with gold edges. Note that American Machinist was a magazine in competition with Machinery Magazine and Machinery published their first edition the same year as American Machinist published their second edition. It is clear who came first.

I was looking for an older edition of Machinerys Handbook on ebay and found a listing for a first edition They are asking $2000 for this book. Is it really that rare of a book to justify the price?
Have other people sold first editions and for how much?
I think that, I actually have a copy of that somewhere.....
I would recommend,
A 12th edition or 13th edition is from the 1940's and are usually in decent condition.
