I also found and saved this 'Woodrow' today off the local flea market, actually it's better than it looks;

it's dusty but the felt is nice and soft and has no mothing at all, size is 7 1/8 so a little tight( it may have shrunk?) the leather liner has dried out and the ribbon is shot.

No. Should I? I sent the link to a friend.

 

[jamespowers]

Looks ok I guess.

Yeah they go for big bucks. They are great for hobby stuff as they do between 4-5 different things. It is the first transformer as it is a drill press, table saw, lathe, router (I think) and looks like a disk sander. They then fold up and are out of the way.

Been mucking around with the polish a bit lately. I heard that you can use olive oil as a metal-polisher (or at least as a sort of lacquer to protect metal), so I gave it a shot.

Westclox Big Ben Alarm Clock
circa 1939

Picked this up at an antiques show today!

 

[1930artdeco]

Saw this at a yard sale today. Asked about the price and it was the best price ever! It turns on but needs new bulbs. It has the round two prong plug so I am hoping it is older and now I just need a desk to go with it. Now, how do I clean underneath where the bulbs go? Can I just use 409 to clean it up?

very, very cool. I have a thing for stampers like this, and I don't know why.

Good finds VC. But I am sure you are thinking the same thing as me, how sad that some ones Air Medal wound up in a sale! Still, would rather see you get it then some Cretonne!
