This was acquired through an eBay sale from upstate New York in August 2007. I grew up in Freeport, Illinois and my grandfather worked as a machinist for his brothers who owned the factory. Presently I would like to restore the machine as much a possible - my original plan was to donate it to a suitable entity in Freeport for permanaent display.
