About a month ago, there was a pristine looking Jolson sewing machine for sale from an estate. The starting bid price was too much for my wallet, but I was interested in it. The history on Jolson and his Nelco brand is actually quite something. A true 'bootstraps' immigrant story of ingenuity and engineering.
Update: the machine didn't sell and it's up for sale again on Ebay. I just put another bid on it, but the reserve price is not met yet.
