Can you identify this mystery machine? Prize Awarded!!!

Post by Jerry B. »

Can you identify this mystery machine? If you are the first successful member to identify this machine you will be awarded a pair of Nipper salt & pepper shakers including postage. But there are rules! you must send a PM with your answer and not by replying directly to this thread I am excited about this purchase and in my giddy state I told a few friends what I purchased so if you are one of those persons please refrain from replying. :)

Thanks, Jerry Blais

Can you show the machine with the lid and doors open, or is that cheating?

Clue #1 - It left the factory as a humble model.

I do not think that the machine and the cabinet on which it stands started life together. Neither the colours nor the carvings match.

Don't know exactly what it is, other than a one of a kind folk art custom cabinet, but that doesn't matter... I want it, whatever it is...
