    Well, I won't arm wrestle over the machine though it's beautiful. However, someone needs to pick up that envelope/letter sorter for me. Love it and I can see lots of uses:>

    I'd give my right arm and first born for the Davis and I never noticed the letter sorter.

    I saved my 2 legs and one arm so I can hop in the car and race to St Louie with cash and kid in hand. Machines like this belong in a museum or a traveling museum.

    That is gorgeous. Could you swing by Kansas City with the table while you're at it? I could use a new refinishing project...like I need a hole in the head but oh well.

    I sure hope someone on this board can get a deal worked out so the machine does not end up with someone that had no clue what they've gotten. Shipping can seem expensive, but often costs less than the gas to go pick something up. But if you want a really rare machine - then you do what you need to do.

    I've got to figure out how to do a wider search on CL in hopes of finding the few left on my list. At least I'm OK with only getting the machine head, and am not after ones where the table is as much of a find as the machine.
