The specific link "I" used to do the rebuild on my irons and they work AWESOME now.
(really, they "worked" before, but now it spins effortlessly and always ends with the pitman arm on the low end...)

....and thanks to everyone else too! I am extremely excited. I just named her Edith
(On the list of top girls' names in 1895, Edith is number 27!)

I love that fact that you researched a "period" name appropriate for the source. I do the same for most of my antiquities (including my 13th century German Knights spur named "Sir Heinrich's Bit")

What a great idea. I decided to check out the most popular female names for 1889. Number 7 was Florence. Perfect name for my 1889 Singer VS2 that I posted today on the Vintage Photo thread. I think that the original decal was Cornflower so the name is appropriate as it means Blooming.
