I saw part of the dress guard in your first photo. Beautiful irons. I found your G&B machine on the board -- you're right it's way cooler than the two spool. Cooler than anything I've seen before.

I was *wondering* where your wing nut was. I didn't see it so I thought the attachments would screw down to the bed. I wonder why the wing nut is movable and what its function is on the top.

Wow, that's great. I love this machine. Do your attachments screw down on the bed? Maybe Davis used up their stock of older irons if the mount for the bobbin winder wasn't in the way.
