Just a question, I've never seen such a cool machine before, what is the dollar value for insurance purposes for something like this. It looks really cool and fairly rare, so in essence it looks really expensive? You don't have to answer this question of worth, I'm just wondering because if I ever come across something like this i'm wondering what would be a good price.

Hey Steve that is one awesome looking machine. You seem to find the most awesome deals in your neck of the woods. The machine is in good hands. Show us when he is all cleaned up.

Wow, that is so beautiful and interesting! The screened "basket" underneath -- is that to catch bobbins if you drop them? Or to store them? The drawer is beautiful -- at first I thought the picture was upside down. I've never seen a drawer like that! The irons look amazingly perfect. I've never seen decals like that on irons. What are the two little "wells'' that are shaped like goggles? Looks like they might hold two spools of extra thread? I'm wondering what the "F" stands for. Nice set of feet and extra bobbins, too. What a score. Congratulations on your new family member. You are the perfect steward for this beauty.

Love the decals, the drawer is wonderful, but the most astounding thing is the parquetry on the top. Can't wait to see it all cleaned & polished.

lol, thanks folks! This is one fun machine to play with.

Here is the missing Wheeler &Wilson Cam. It is usually underneath the bed on W&W machines, but B&R licensed the tech and could implement it however they wanted. Really interesting.
