    super-sweeper I know what you mean! We just went garage sale-ing this morning and Sammy bought me a General Electric stand mixer for $2.00! I'm in the process of cleaning it up as we speak! I'm thinking it's from the 1970's. :) -Michelle

    tolivac I'll keep you informed on the Wright. My husband knows more about it than I do, so I'll ask him and share with you what I find out. I love hand filing our chainsaws bars! We actually don't have a bow saw or a two man saw yet! Those are on the list! :) -Michelle
