I thought it was a great find, too. Wondered how to use it and it is a simple hand crank. Duh!
We DID buy one plane but I got this, as well as some 1950's brooches and a couple of vintage necklaces. Plus, a Duncan Phyfe side table. I did very well for an rc sale.
I'm hoping to test the sewing machine this weekend. I know it turns well but not sure if it actually sews. Not that I really care.
