Story
Dennis says: I have no history on the unit except it was also from somewhere in Southwest Ohio as my Dad got it at an auction...well round about... just north of here. There were two in the auction and a local bottle guy we knew outbid my conservative Dad on the pair as a lot. Mom was there and said she was ready to smack him up side of his head for not bidding higher. Dad's excuse was he only needed one, not two. Mom then approached the winner and struck a deal to buy one unit. Dad had wanted one ever since I moved out in the '70's and took mine with me. It took until the late 1980's for him to get this one. I inherited it when he passed and kept it for that time until now but not on display. It was so similar to the one I had, I was just hording it. As I had said, the other one had the more sentimental value.
