Hello all,
I am not really a collector, more of an observer. My grandfather operated a farm in SE Missouri, which my family had operated since the 1880s my first job out of high school was a machine shop repairing printing and bindery equipment which had been in business since 1894. I've had the pleasure of seeing and using a lot of vintage stuff. In addition to my "paying" job, I often purchase large lots of surplus components to resell, and often come across old items.
