Very nice! Bookends! I really like your external decorated horn . . . I've never been fortunate enough to find one of those.

That is a spectacular triumph you found there John. Did you happen to notice the serial number? Both machines pictured have the Thomas Edison signatures in the same location, one on the bedplate and the other on the front of the housing. My Triumph A has the gold signature on the bedplate in the same location as yours but the other one is on the horizonal surface directly under the feedscrew. Mine is number 34690. That is why I'm asking about the serial number of yours.

Great machines that run forever on a cranking. Congrats
