Thank you! I'd tried "Victorian" "1800s" "arts and crafts" etc and totally forgotten about Edwardian. Saw a few more machines there that the other searches didn't throw up. I'll be a parlor cabinet expert before all if this is through
I loved that blog! So interesting! And very very helpful to see the complete internal mechanisms. Thanks so much for taking the time to help me!
