My first Ashford Traditional (ca. 1980) is still my favorite for spining linen - well broken in, it runs effortlessly - AND gets lots of questions about its "antique" origins, mostly because of the patina from frequent oiling.
The Haldane Harris I acquired around 1984 still sits in the living room, as well, still one of my favorites.
