Several years ago I bought an old Taylor Norris machine at a garage sale in California, got the whole collection for $50.
Now I feel kinda bad 'cause I think it is worth far more than that for the scrap value of the brass.
I hadn't thought much about it for years and ran across it a few days ago while cleaning out the storage shed.
It is in remarkably good shape for such a seemingly old machine.
Does anyone have any knowledge of these?
I'll try to post some pictures as soon as I finish tunneling through the snow to get to it.

If it's the one called the "Golden Beauty" it's quite a solid looking machine. Someone sent me a manual or ad for one years ago, as a curiosity/collectible..I'll try to find it.
