Ok. Why is the one with the boots in the section for mantel clocks? and the other one is terrible, just terrible.

My eyes just grew to five times their normal size!! :shock:
For some reason it's the fine mist of gold paint that caught my attention first... I think I'm just imaging the vandal, spray can in hand, thinking 'YES - this will do perfectly!'

Not sure about the "cocktail" but what REALLY frustrates me is when they are selling a cabinet machine and only show pics of the Cabinet. It shows how they perceive it, as a piece of decorative furniture...

"There are some attachments and the original manual is in a drawer but oil soaked. I have produced a replica that is like new but the original gives the date and number of the machine during production. (See photos)"

They made a replica of the model 66 manual, even though the oil soaked page said 115. LOL!

I guess they're pretty much the same machine, they're both black.

Here is our local "I won't quit" seller. This machine has been up for months at this price. I really do not believe it is an 1873 machine and they would not share the serial number with me.
