14 years ago, my mother-in-law came to live with us. Recently widowed, she left her house as it was, came to Oregon and said she was never going back home. We told her we would pack her house up, pack EVERYTHING, and bring here for her to sort through at her pleasure.  Her house was much like a museum, she was an avid and well known antique dealer and collector in Los Angeles in the mid to later 1900's.  We moved over 700 boxes of items from her house, along with many pieces of furniture. 1 of her pieces has been on the Antique Road Show.    I built a 7000 sq. foot building to accommodate all her collections. She never opened a box. She died about 7 years ago, and we have just begun the process of going through the boxes ourselves.  It is an arduous process. Some items will go to concession dealers, some are given away, some things donated, some are kept and some things are offered here.   I used to write a bit of the history at the beginning of each ad, I have decided to write this, and when a bit of provenance fits, I will include this introduction. These items were collected many years ago by a very sweet and knowledgeable lady. Wish she was here to tell me about each item we offer, but, I am on my own, and will do my best to describe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a nice vintage machine. A Clarke Floor Sanding Edger Machine Model V - 5. It runs strong, no problems.   The light bulb needs replacing. I may have a new one and will replace and amend this ad if I find it.  This machine has a very long heavy duty electric cord.   The dust bag has a few small wear holes near where it attaches to the sander spout, I wrap a few passes with tape and it is good to go. Could be fixed better with a needle and thread, but I am a guy.. sooo.   Other than that, you will be happy with the performance of a well made, all American sanding machine. From what I understand, these are very desirable and hard to find, but with Ebay, what is really hard to find...really? usually whatever it is you are wanting will turn up. Here is what you were waiting for, why else are you reading this?   I am starting this out at a low opening bid, shipping has to be what it is, as this is a very heavy machine, BUT, if you live in a closer area to me, such as the West Coast (I am in Oregon) the shipping may be cheaper. If it is, I can issue you a partial refund once I process the shipping label; and know the actual cost. Please examine the pictures closely, as they are a very important part of my description. I write as much as I can reasonably write about the piece, but visual inspection through the posted pictures are worth a thousand words....  ask any question you may have, I will do my best to answer. I can take other pictures and send them to you via Ebay messages upon request.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Shipping is for USA lower 48, all other addresses will be calculated. Because I am a returning seller to Ebay, your feedback is important to establish trust with future buyers. I would very much appreciate pos. feedback once you receive the item and are satisfied with your purchase. Thanks. I started selling on Ebay when Ebay was new to the world, and was a great place to offer unique items to a broad audience. Then, the monster of greed came, and Ebay transformed into something I disliked, a lot. I quit selling using Ebay. I was a gold seller, I had 1000's of great feedbacks, a couple of negs ( I have learned some people are impossible to please).    Now, I still have a 7000 sq. ft. building, filled with 100's of mystery boxes inherited from an avid antique dealer who had a great eye. SOOO, here  I am again, and just relearning the "new" Ebay. The fees have risen (Ebay even takes a percentage of shipping charges!), and the marketplace has changed, but, it still offers a larger audience than I can find elsewhere. Never know what is in the next box!
This is a working machine.
