Comments:

Acquired 1985 from a collector in the Southeast. Machine spent a lot of time out doors. Appears to have been dropped off a wagon. Iron is very fine and oxidizes a deep scarlet red. Wood frame was blue at one time. I am not real familiar with woods not from Oregon, but, the frame appears to be an oak, the rails Southern Yellow Pine, and the rotted table some kind of poplar.
Machine is too old and light to be a user. Pleasing to look at.
