Patented August 7, 1888
Do you know how old it is? patented Aug. 7, 1888.
Manual paper feed, foot pedel. Foot pedel broke when a visiting artist was using it - So I replaced the spring with one of those heavy duty rubber fasteners for trucks. (thick strip of rubber with an S hook at each end -works fine.
Has straight pins - took 2 of us to pick it up in Eastern Washington State (It had been located in a farm in Manitoba and delivered to Eastern Washington State where Ed Varney and I picked it up on a two day trip from Vancouver.
It was located via e-mail - sent to everyone I knew who might know where there was one. Took 4 of us to move it into the studio -Have cleaned it up and oiled the pins (98% of them were still there). Have not refinished it. I had some of the removable bars (which permit the pinsto depress) and had them cut to different sizes - to permit pre-determined lengths of perf lines to be created, up to the maximum of 19.5". I perf one sheet at a time - simply because I prefer the control.
