Purchased from a large on-line marketplace.
I've often wondered what some of the failed designs Joseph Oliver's machine was an improvement over. This I'm sure was cast aside. Probably wasn't used much because it was so dangerous. I wonder if a forensic test would come up any with 150 year old blood stains. Extraordinary condition for a machine that dates back to the civil war era. It actually works pretty well.
