Wheeler Wilson 8 Rufflers
Hey folks,
I made a stop at Cathy's this weekend and she had just found these beauties.
I am working out a deal for one, but whatever the deal works out to be, one component is that "I" get to clean them both. hehe
So, here they are. Once "as is" and one in process of cleaning.

the underside is pretty cool as well, NOTE the brass "insert" for the WW8 Glass presser foot holder!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]431127[/ATTACH]
The company name stamp.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]431128[/ATTACH]
Patent info starts here and in continued o the next photo (underneath the ruffler)
Not quite sure what the bottom line says yet...
First Date: Jan 1863
[ATTACH=CONFIG]431129[/ATTACH]
This is the "to be continued" part of the patent data
Last Date: May 1881

my WW8 is not up and running right now si I do not know, but it moves very smooth and easy. the adjuster adjusts just fine.
Once again I sit in awe of the craftsmanship of our forebearers
All i did was supply Brasso, 0000 steel wool, elbow grease
