She is a little stiff (who wouldn't be after sitting on a shelf for 20 years!) and needs some care. The belt is leather. I had not seen one in leather before, other than treadles. I feel lucky to have her.
Congrats! If she is a little stiff you might want to oil her with Triflow - get it at a bicycle shop or on line. It will free it up very quickly.
