Allow me to introduce our new crown jewel.....
I have done NO cleaning what so ever. Due to the kindness of a fellow collector, the previous owner of this machine was put into contact with me about a possible sale. That was a little while ago. I was upfront with the owner that I could only afford a certain amount and that his machine was most likely worth a bunch more in the right sale. The owner decided to follow that route and we bid each other a kind farewell. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, the owner contacts me and says that they have not been able to sell it as expected and that they would accept a offer that was a little bit above my limit. I looked at the pics for a week and caved... I have now sold my other MOP G&B in the oak parlor with non-original internal hardware, and bought this stunning beauty. It is 99.9% complete (it is missing the bolt on patent plate, but we have a donor machine with one) The previous owner is on vacation as of the moment we left them, but when they return in two weeks they will scan and forward a copy of the original Bill of Sale..... oh wow... The front - Closed up [ATTACH=CONFIG]513567[/ATTACH] The Front Open - The right door is folded all the way around the back [ATTACH=CONFIG]513568[/ATTACH] This is the hinge up close [ATTACH=CONFIG]513569[/ATTACH] |

That is one incredible machine. Wow. The cabinet, the ironwork, the decals -- amazing. I wish I had words worthy of it. Museum-worthy, no doubt.
