Very interesting - all this neat mechanical stuff that stands the test of time.
Can't help but wonder if there is anything made today that will last (and be of interest) ?

Yes, but I'm a quilter! The harp space is what catches my eye!

For some reason the phrase "punching power" makes my fingers want to curl up a bit. It sounds like it would sew right through them without much trouble! LOL.
