We went and picked up the machine today and I will take a picture tomorrow to show all of you. I have discovered that it was made in 1871 with a serial number of 519.930.
I was looking for a manual a couple of days ago and came across one that was 31 pages long but had so much information. Now, tonight, I've been looking for hours and can't find it again. If any of you come across that site, I sure would appreciate it if you could post that web address. I could sure use it. I was so wrong to think I could find it again.
Okay, good night. I'm excited to work on this next week. I won't be able to tackle it until then. I have lace class tomorrow and have to teach a featherweight class on Friday. Life does get busy, doesn't it?
And, thanks again for all your help.
