She said it's been in her attic for years and years. Her grandson now lives in her house and she lives in town and the kids are slowly bringing things from the attic to her shed. She asked if I'd like to look it over for her when she gets it. Uh, like YYYEEEESSSS!!! So I can hardly sit still and keep wondering what kind of machine could this be??? 1880's something!!! Oh, my goodness!!!
