O no no no she's is not a quilt inspector, she's an outside cat. she looked about a year old whe she first started hanging around, it took two years before I could touch her maybe 4 yrs before I feed her, she not a wild cat, she's been fixed... I'm in the country so no idea where she came from.. This is the first time she has come in the house, she would sit at the door, byt never come inside.
she's a very light gray and super thich fur, so I think she getting to hot and finding those back rooms cool and safe to sleep..
I blamed her for yesterdays adventure in SM Barn finds,,These are buildings that no one has been in for the last ten years.. til this month...
s
o yesterday there was also a free westinghouse laying there .. with is the last thing I'd ever want... I have an apartment electric, I sure is the same thing .. now comes the but, this free looks almost unused, still glossy black and very bright decals close to zero rust . In the photo's some parts look like rust it's reflection from the wood base.. any speckles is dust , in the photo's I have not even as much as blown the dust away. so as dirty as found...
This is a $10 buy, from the guy that gave me that new home
The bad, that guy was being nice and wanted to carry it to my car, He grad the dome top case handel. ( you know what ran down my leg ) about twp steps I told him I'll take it . he just kept going, I looked at my car and hear the loudest BAM!!!!! you'll ever hear. not want to ever look , I did, he's standing there with the dome cover in his hand and the machine on the ground ... luckly it landed flat and split every joint in the base, broke all the wood under one hinge and a long piece at the hand wheel end that supports the machine and is a groove for the sliding attachment cover. But two machines for $10 right so I can't whine... it is repairable and won't show..
as post ealier the treable stand they have is not an amercain, it's a national, I don't know that I have ever seen a national treadle stand before ..lots of elec machines, never a treadle..
last pat date on the slide plate is 1908, some how I think these were late 20's machines
metal tag with copper nails say patent appieled for maybe the case ??? The metal hook ( ?) is on both ends of the sliding cover which holds the foot peddle see how much lower the hinge is, the wood has been broken under the hinge. maybe you can see the joint knoked apart at the case, every joint has been broken loose,, not the wood but the glue
