My son and stepdaughter (read daughter) are both 24. Some day I will have a grandchild but not too soon I hope.

I wanted to sneak in a few pictures of my latest project. I just finished it yesterday morning. It is a Willson And Gibbs that dates from either 1899 or 1900. It was seized up when I got it but everything was there except for the needle. Does anyone have a source for them?
Here is a before and after of the front and back and a couple of other before and afters for comparison.
