What is this? http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...571805461.html

Is this a good find?

Sorry you are not doing well Billy:(

I'm not sure what you've got in that CL ad and maybe its something that's really cool. The one here in Rochester is a 99-13 and I have one of those and it has a wonderful stitch. Mine in is the bentwood case with the knee bar, and has a really pretty scroll work face plate. I can't see the one in the listing, but it says it's from the 1920's and the cabinet on this one is really nice. Plus - $25 or B/O - seems like a really great deal to me. I just have 2 that size already. Is it a really long drive for you?

I am really worried as I bet most everyone else is too. What about all the flooding in your daughter's house? Maybe, a combination of snake bite and mold poisoning?

Nancy

Nobody knows what caused it or what. I think it all started with the bite but I was riding my mountain bike and I smaked a tree or two and that really got it going. I am thinking that I got a viral infection from somewhere and I rubbed my face then off it goes. I just want to say thank you for all of the prayers and love sent to me I can feel it helping already. If anything I know that my extended family here is pulling for me and I thank you for all of your love.

I am covered from head to toe with sores and I can not even take a shower without crying in shear agony. I am eating Lortab 10's like they are candy 4 every 4 hours and can not do anything but lie down.

I just hope I can come out of this but I have accepted the fact that I might not and I am okay with it. I had 45 good years on this planet and had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends. But I am so tired of being in pain and suffering its not even funny.

Billy

Billy,
I'm happy to see that you are being admitted. I saw the picture of your head. That's nasty! Please don't give up. Hopefully your doctor contacts a skin specialist from one of the top medical universities here in the US.- and also someone that specializes in snake bites.

I'm praying for a speedy recovery for you.

Graybar is a pretty interesting company. National made Western Electric machines from 1917 to 1918, only two years, then Graybar took over. They started making machines from about 1926 to 1934 when they succumbed to the Depression. There is still a Graybar company today, but they are only a distributor of products, they no longer make their own consumer products. I almost bought a Graybar a couple times so I did some research. I think Monica has a Graybar machine.

Nancy

Yes, I have the Graybar. I plan to bring it to the TOGA.
I don't plan on keeping this machine.

My dad used to live in phelps...he's outside of Geneva so I may be able to convince him to get it for me:)

Hmmmmmmmmm..... Chico is 5 hours from me...so you're only 7 hours away

Nancy is to close not to go after that beautiful machine. Kathie

Billy, I sure hope they can find out what is wrong! Please don't give up. We are all praying for you and your family.

Billy you & your family as well as the Drs have my prayers. I am sure you do feel like you are dying with being in so much pain. I also pray that this is not the case and that they get you back to good health very soon. You have so much to do yet and so much to offer AND your family needs you. You take care my friend and just pray. I sure am!

Huge Hugs & Much Love
Gram
