Was a special gift to be shared with the public. Especially for young children who have never seen older machines. To be able to operate one will be a big thrill. About 30 years ago I gave away the majority of my VSM to The Henry Ford Museum outside of Detroit. They may still be on display in different parts of the museum and the Henry Ford Greenfield Village, the walk through interactive museum. They were excited for the gift. I am so tickled that you are doing this. Such a great adventure for the young and young at heart.

You have a great-looking collection, and I now have goals! I'm just 2 VSM's in to my eventual obsession, ha!

Just wow
I loved seeing the second photo and how you store your VSMs. I've been percolating ideas on how to store mine, and I like the shelving that you have used. Thanks for posting this, I've drooled over the machines and the storage ;-) Hugs!
