I don't have a digital camera, but next time one of the kids comes over I'll get her to snap one!

"Any chance of a photograph of the desk nearby?"
Let me know how it works out, Jake.
I repaired this sewing machine (1916 New Home vibrating shuttle) for a friend. It belonged to her grandmother.
Not to break the sewing machine thread, pun intended, but, to the OP, I have used a 1947-vintage push mower (the motorless, reel-blade type) to cut my yards for over 30 years. It's sometimes slow to start but it runs on beer. The type is typical of the 'Golden Age. Few have ever wanted to borrow it. although I have collected several additional 'free' ones from spectators.
Does anyone else use one of these?
