That's so cool Doug! I would have thought that he would have kept one type of each machine as soon as it came off of the assembly line for his own collection! I guess it is kind of like a friend of mine whose parents owned and operated a Coca Cola bottling plant. He said that he, and his parents had no interest at all in any of the things that people covet today. He said that old signs, crates, bottles, advertising items were thrown away as fast as it could be once the item was used.
Coca Cola collectors today would give their right arm for some of this stuff. This crazy thing called collectiong is just that...crazy! Take care. Brantley </HTML>
