James
James brought an interesting machine, labeled a Domestic, believed to have been made about 1906. It is a very small machine, the bed measuring 11 inches by 7-1/4 inches. The pillar is short, with a short harp space, measuring only 3-1/2 inches from the bed to the underside of the arm. It is noticeably smaller than a three-quarter size machine.

James also brought a piece of Arctic Seal leather, a very tough and unusual material that would be nice to make something needing to be very rugged.
