Thanks again, Steve. I will check this one out.... it's unusual. It appears that the treadle belt is still there. Perhaps it will turn.... I'll have to wait until I see it in person.
This bunch of auctions are from an antique dealer that died a couple of years ago. She had 4-5 houses and a couple of warehouses full of stuff..... packed floor to ceiling. It has been a treasure hunt to go to these auctions. The heirs don't even know what they will find as they work themselves through the places. They are having these auctions every couple of weeks during the summer. We went to 5 or 6 last summer and have already gone to 2 this year. It's been fun. You never know what you will find.
