It's in a van (maybe a 66 was considered portable in 1925, when women were *real* women)! The cabinet has been painted white!! "looks complete" (the empty slide plate hole is screaming "look at me!!"). See what I mean when I said that nearly all 66s are missing their slide plate?
In case you're wondering, Googs are eggs.

It's one of those "exercise desks". You try and write something, it falls on the floor, you pick it up and start again. By the end of the letter, you've performed a large set of touching your toes! $100 is cheaper than a gym membership.

Is that a dead opossum in the background? Plus this one needs a new "spinning wire" : http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/atq/3942139066.html Also another one says : Selling a New Home treadle sewing machine that's in good condition. No damage or what so ever. Does not come with the sewing machine. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/atq/3886486352.html
