A VERY DESIRABLE COLLECTABLE ITEMI AM NOT AN EXPERT IN THIS FIELD AS YOU CAN SEE I SELL ARCHITECTURAL ANTIQUE AND SOMETIMES I COME ACROSS THIS LOVELY ITEMS IN LOVELY HOUSES ! IT MEASURES 9" W X 15" D X APPROX 16" T.ONLY THE WOOD BASE NOT COUNTING THE IRON TOP.IT IS NOT WORKING BUT MECHANISM SEEMS PERFECT, AS I HAVE MADE SOME WHEELS GENTLY MOVED AND A LOVELY SOUND IS HERD... I MEAN THERE IS NO STUCK PIECES, I BELIEVE A COUPLE OF SPRINGS WILL MAKE THIS BEAUTY WORK AGAIN.CONDITION OF WOOD SEEMS OK WITH NO INSECTS WHAT IS GREAT. ALL ORIGINAL WITH  MAYBE A PIECE OF WOOD WAS REPLACED. LOOK THE WOOD ENGRAVED NUMBER ON THE BASE "N° 19235" ALSO THERE IS A NUMBER 11 AND INITIALS OF WATLING  ON THE IRON TOP.THE IRON TOP AND ALL IRON APPLIANCES ARE DONE IN AN EDWARDIAN - ART NOUVEAU STYLE WHAT LEADS ME TO DATE THIS MACHINE  BETWEEN 1890 AND 1912 AT MOST. DEFECTS SEEN : IRON TOP LID HAS A CORNER BROCKEN (IRON FOUNDITION IS VERY FRAGILE ) MAIN ARM STOP IS BROKEN TOO. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE BODY AS IF A MECHANISM SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED THERE. FELLOW COLLECTORS ENTHUSIAST I BELIEVE HERE IS A CHANCE TO OWN A VERY INTERESTING ITEM, AS I SEE IT WILL NEED A SLIGHT MECHANISM REPAIR, BESIDES WHEEL WILL NEED A REPAINTING AND IF I WERE YOU I WOULD HAVE THE IRON PARTS THAT NOW ARE WHITE PAINTED REMOVED AND RETURNED TO THE PROBABLY ORIGINAL IRON CAST COLOR. WOOD CASE THAT SEEMS VERY WELL PRESERVED WILL NEED A LID ON REVERSE AND DONE. PRICING ? YOU SEE IS VERY REASONABLE AND MAYBE YOU WILL GET AN UNIQUE ITEM !
