Nice machines and from the photos your new finds they fit right in with your collection.

I am working on a major restoration of a Columbia Grand very much like yours - except what little original finish it had was a deeper mahogany colour. I have also discovered that Columbia must have contracted out their manufacturing as every machine I have found photos of seem to have variations in the colour and the carving.

I know I will not sell mine or even if I tried I would not realize the money which I have sunk into this project so far, but would you mind sharing how much you paid for your Columbia?

Thanks

Bruce
