D1 American – also sold as The Andrews
When I was building up my collection I often had to make do with sad-condition rarities that could take many years to replace with a good version and it took me 10 years to find a better example of this machine. What we have is an extremely rare Victorian American cast-iron miniature, with a lot of the Willcox and Gibbs about it. Most of the paint and decoration have gone, just traces remaining near the wheel area. It appears to be complete and the arm does rock. Believe me, this one is worth rescuing. Glenda Thomas 2-219. Price $500 including insured surface shipping.
