WELCOME!!! You have a very nice collection and it is great to see a young collector doing restorations... A lot of people would have passed that rusted machine by without a second look, but you have brought it back from the dead. It has an appearance similar to a German cylinder machine, but I am not sure. Your new find was a great bargain... congratulations.

Do you have a picture of the machine that you think is similar?

Welcome to the forum.... That machine looks 100 % better without the rust. When you find a picture of a machine like it in good shape, you have the base to restore it back looking original. Tom

It has been some time since I've posted something. I've been busy, buying alot of things, and busy with school.
I have bought a Edison Home model B with Diamond B with af big cygnet horn from a dear collector-friend - Eric Reiss. It is very beautiful and fits great in my little collection. :D Also found a Edison Gem at a flearmarket - missing the horn og and the spring is broken - but is was very cheap :)
