I wouldn't mind having one even if it didn't work. It would make a nice conversation piece. One time we went to a gift shop in Sequim and I can't recall the name of it, but they sell lavender and there in the garden sat this old machine and I just shook my head as the poor machine was sooo rusted and no way would that machine ever be able to work after being in the weather and all. It looked a well loved machine at one time, but maybe it conked out and the peoople there wanted to use it as a garden ornament. It wasn't a feather weight, it was one that once sat in a cabinet. Have a great day oh the riddle was so cute. Enjoy, Huggies, Fay
