Neat stuff. I was surprised at the prices, they looked like todays' prices. Then I noticed the "per doz." at the end of the list. What a dream that would be.

OOOOOwwww, my wish book, finally. Thank you Gary. I have a foot mortiser albeit with a round coil spring, I have been able to actually use a former, foot operated table saw and a hand operated rip saw. For those interested, the table saw and rip saw and a scroll saw are in the shop at Living History Farms at Des Moines, Ia.
