Just thought I'd share a couple of interesting acquisitions for this week. If you haven't been here long, you probably don't know that I have a special place in my heart for Columbia cylinder machines. I see "character" in each one I find. Mostly from Columbia's manufacturing penchant to let no part go to waste :)
This week I had the great luck of purchasing a Columbia A with Washington DC decal. It'll look great sitting between a couple of original, period photos of early Columbia A's that I've had for some time. But good things seem to come in groups. A good friend sent me something else that I have a keen fondness for - an instruction manual. Not just any manual mind you, but the original directions for the Columbia N Bijou. An amazing item, and a "class act" for a friend! Loran
