Pauline is beautiful. I have never seen one quite like her, wearing flowers and all. What a super find.

What a beautiful machine and cabinet. A Free Model 5 is one that I am still hunting.

Wow, what a beauty!! Those decals are gorgeous and in such nice condition. Could you post a pic of the cabinet all closed up? Am interested to see the details. Take care and enjoy your treasure!!
