I was browsing auctions looking for yard art when I saw one for "Sawing Supplies". Turned out to be about 4 boxes of craft supplies and this lovely little hand crank, I just fell in love with it. Spent a whole $27 to win the auction and just got back home from pick up, so this is fresh out of the box and I've barely even played with it yet!
Not in perfect condition, this machine was used -- and still seems to work perfectly, so far as I can tell.
My reading of the serial number is 12 318 188, which should be 1894?? and so far that's all I know.
