Default $50 Flea Market Find - Willcox & Gibbs industrial

Gotta love the strange little things you can find at a Swap meet...

This machine dates to about 1900

It is on a "homemade" iron stand with a feed ramp, a front grab handle, and rollers on the bottom.

NOTE: the hand wheel is mounted to a piece of angle iron as is the "spool pin" (actually a bolt through another piece of angle iron)
