I might be interested in the ribbon if it's cotton/rayon. If it's polyester, I can't use it.

$2,000 for the lot and another $2000 to ship it here then another 50% of my assets after the divorce. I'll pass. But awfully tempting.

I don't want to be the cause of any divorces but I have the need to sel this as a whole. I can't say for sure what the ribbon's fabric content is since I am in Colorado and it is in Indiana. I 'll be going back soon to attend to some other business and if it hasn't sold by then, I will post the correct content. I do know that it was last used over 20 years ago from an existing supply that was on hand. My guess is that it is 40+ years old, as much of the equipment in the plant was dated from the 1940's. I have a few ribbon rolls that are in tact and even a few feathers. As I said, it amounts to about a shoe box full of complete and partial rolls. In all there are 72 pieces of the wooden blocks flanges and misc. When you add the brim press and the table with the lathe, to the rest of the collection, it's a pretty good buy. If you don't think so, make me an offer. The worst that can happen is I can say no and you won't have to worry about a divorce settlement.

Wow...a few years ago or a few from now and I would have been/would be snatching it.

Lordy... I hate coming across deals like this when I'm not in a position to take advantage of it!
