That's a lucky find. I prefer local pick up too, for both selling and buying. I don't trust couriers nor packaging. The paint and decals are very nice for a machine of that age, what did you use to clean and polish it up? I'm not very afraid to clean up the younger machines, but yours are 120 years old and very nice condition. People with flawless condition machines are very carefull with their machines, cover the base with cling film to prevent surface stratches. I polish mine to hopefully get a protective film on the surface, and maybe a bit of shine back into worn paint. Do you dare sew on your fantastic machine?
