Yes, I bought one minty green and another where the photos and description say green/gray which I’m hoping will be similar to the body color of the Hermes. Will see when they arrive.

The true red coloured ones are a bit harder to find and at a decent price.

Sometimes a seller's lighting can make brownish ones look red.

But these two are definitely red.

Pete your house must be an absolute museum.

Mike,

I am sort of a bad influence on my wife as well.

Here are some nice vintage machines we picked up on the cheap and restored/serviced them to go another 50 years, easily. The 1950's thru 1960's machines are our favourite.

Wow those sewing machines! Sending the pictures to my wife to admire. Sent her your stapler pictures and she said, "Oh, no! A new obsession!" But I said no, . . . . well maybe one Aceliner.

My adding machine period was short lived.

Expand your horizons and collect these.

Ahh yes, I lived about 15 miles from the former Vincent factory sites in Stevenage (there were two, closed in 1955) until two years ago. The ridiculously high prices that Vincent motorcycles fetch have now rubbed off on their other products, like cyclemotors and presumably lawnmowers too
