Wow LEONF, if I'm ever in Kansas, I would love to see your machines. The 2nd photo with the girl in pink, what is that machine? I had to google what a cotter pin is. And I too agree that the machine needs to speak its own history. The aftermarket handcrank, what material is it made of? I have so much fun learning ahead of me. Thank you.
