Older Wheeler & Wilson in CT
This is too far for me, and I don't have the space anyway. But I thought others might be interested. I'm posting the link plus some pictures for "posterity". I wish there were better pics of the machine. Does anyone know what it is? Unfortunately there's a break in the irons.

I cannot tell if it is a model #1 or a model #3 (the difference is a #1 is silver plated, a #3 is painted)
It is a great price for a machine that would probably clean up really really nice. Mine was an unpolished silver #1 that looked like old grey paint (tarnished silver) Before...

I am 98% sure they are decals.
I was just trying to point out that under the accumulated decades of dust, sweat, and tears the decals are better than they look.
I bought a VERY early White Model A and there were whole sections that we thought were plain that turns out have hand painted designs under a camouflage of crud.
