Very cool looking. I was curious about this model and looked it up on ISMAC'S:

The serial number L1165125 dates it to 1901. Seems like a handy machine for the Amish.

Pretty cool. Did you see the Bradbury that someone listed? Get your wallet out for that one.

Thanks for the link. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.

I bought one of these a year ago. However it is in pieces and in dire need of lots & lots of TLC.
Hope to get to it in this lifetime.

That's interesting an interesting link, Jon. When I did family research I found out from the 1901 census that my grandmother worked as a harness stitcher when she was young. Now I can imagine the type of machine.
