    even with that vile identifier (I will not dignify it by calling it a name...) I will continue to reply...

    (Sokey, I just really hate that "nickname")

    well, thanks to you folks I am the high bidder for now.

    It will probably go beyond my max, but who knows, with the name spelled like that it is not easy to get to show up on searches.

    BTW - The serial number dates this to 1860.... it would be the oldest machine in my collection

    I saw that this morning and had it on my watch list. I want to get into this type of machine to collect, but need to do some research on them and pricing. This board is full of useful info and I spend way too much time on it. But love it.

    QB's website is not so good for "history lessons" more like LOTS of blips of history everywhere.
