Comments:
Found in bushes behind an abandoned house in Louisiana. If I had to guess it was purchased second hand from Angola Prison in the 1950s and then later discarded. But that is only a guess.

Comments: Fully restored. New leather belts (not seen and covered by protective shrouds). Some new and some reworked Babbitt bearings. Color scheme is my own choosing to match my other machines.
