After the gun show, DH and I hit a few antique shops and then found the way to this neat non-profit thrift store. We looked around - and did find a Kenmore sewing machine (made by White) but it wasn't something we were interested in.
And then over on the side next to a vintage washing machine I spied this lovely unit!
I got excited - this is so weird - up until about a week ago I had never even heard about one of these, and someone posted a link and I was browsing a blog - and there was a right up about one of these.
I knew it was meant to be! DH thought I was nuts, and I had to explain to several people what it was.
It's a Montgomery Wards Mangle. I don't know if it will work, but for $15 I just had to bring it home.
