so, here is a couple of shots that I took after putting together enough parts to get it off the kitchen table....(oops)
here is a normal light shot the shows the decorative plate and the remains of the bed designs
(Yes, they did bed designs on W&W #8's)

Here is the same shot under a flash. (Really brings out the details)

here is a full view. The band-aids on the glass presser foot are because the needle bar has NO resistance to up and down movements while disconnected from the drive line. The glass is already cracked, and I do not want it getting worse. (BTW - I am looking for glass inserts or additional feet, this one is a gathering foot...)

NOTE: The damage to the paint on the arm is going to be one of the bigger issues to overcome while trying to preserve the original details...
