That is neat! - and if you locate another mounting bracket, I'm looking for one. I also got a WG hand crank with a piece of bent metal for mounting bracket LOL!!

Was it hung on a wall? Maybe for sewing produce bags?

I do think it was a flat mounted bag closer. It will now be a basting machine... hehe

I made a nice little oak base for it last night.

Very nice Steve!
I like the hand crank setup on that one.

That gold painted Jones I bought last year. Here's a pic of the cabinet top and the coffin top. I don't really care if the locking mechanism matches, I'd just like the wood to be the same. You can see that the oak top just doesn't cut it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]536390[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]536391[/ATTACH]

umm, maybe it is just the pics, but the base looks like oak to me too... just aged dirty oak... and the top looks kinda bleached..

I will send a pic tonight, but the lid I may have is a LOT darker than that base

The base is darker than it looks in the pics. The top is pretty worn. Other people have told me it's walnut, I don't know. It's clearly a different wood than the coffin top.[ATTACH=CONFIG]536392[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]536393[/ATTACH]

Rodney might be able to chime in here, I think he's seen it.
