Dang Bob, you're giving me the itch! Not that it ever clears up but I haven't found anything lately with the condition/price that makes me pull the trigger. Awaiting pics!

Sweet! I have one just like it, also with a Climbin Lyman. Mine was born in 1927. Itβs one of my favorites.
Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out...
