Found in Alaska

My DH, and I, just returned from a trip to Alaska. While visiting Icy Straight Point we found this machine in the cannery museum. It was used for fish nets.

inertia generating flywheel... AWESOME industrial sewing machine. Too bad you couldn't get a shot of the front/serial plate!
