This one is in St. Louis,MO. They must have really good stuff to smoke there. The treadle cabinet looks like it may have been out in the rain.

I never see nickel 15s. I'm almost tempted to go look at it but can't buy it at this price.

I feel so sorry for this one. Must be missing its cover to have gotten this dirty. Probably missing its knee bar, too.

I read "somewhere" that machines were badged when they left the factories. If the machine left in 1951, it would get the badge. If the machine's serial number was allocated in 1951, but didn't leave the factory until 1952, it wouldn't get the badge. That's why the 1951 serial numbered and badged machines are a little more "special" than the ones where the serial number is from a different year.

LOL I get people to do it all the time. I got $5 and $10 each for some old wood windows and $10 for old derelict doors. DH was happy he didn't have to haul them. I would love to have that repair cabinet.

Methinks the two jewelers / watchmakers benches are well worth the $25. Funny how value is in the eye of the beholder.

Oh- I'd love to get a hold of those watch repair benches! Ok - so that means I'd add them to my long list of "when I get time" but still, I love all the drawers!

I love the jeweler's bench too, but it's missing a lot. Miriam, people use old windows as picture frames or other decor, especially if they have multiple panes. The old wavy glass is fast disappearing. I love wavy glass.

These were not wavy glass - some even were broken. I sold every last one of them though.
