My wife would spend that rather than wash clothes by hand. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving.. Find at www.savagelevers.com

Seriously, the advent of washing machines probably gave the average family back at least one day of their lives each week. And they also gave the rest of us a far less smelly world to live in.

This was a gizzmo for the filthy rich. The maids of the people that could afford that machine are the ones that were actually using them. "You cannot invade mainland America.

And I did not get cover which could have been hidden about anywhere on farm which had 1/4 of large shed with nothing but scrap metal? Hard to do good search during auction when sleet coming down horizontally, but prices were good! Bruce

That was the only one I've ever seen in person. Pretty cool. "Somehow, the sound of a shotgun tends to cheer one up" -- Robert Ruark
