New Machines
Well, went up to Orange county for an alumni lunch so checked out the CL in the area. I managad to score a couple of okay machines.
First I think it is a 1891, VS2, serial #10610104 with Scrolls and Roses decals in very poor condition. The treadle table is okay but will need a few parts. I got this one for free so not complaining, it turns really smoothly. Wish there would of been some extra bobbins.
Second was a Franklin head with the egyptian looking beetles, seril #217954. There is rust on all the chrome parts and some of them the plating is coming off. It is very stiff and missing the face plate. Anyone know how to date the franklin machines?
Not a bad trip and had a good lunch and met some fellow former Nebraskans.
