Tearing down the W.W.Oliver Double Gear Hand Rolling Machine, in preparation for cleaning and restoration.
As a Young Teenage boy this machine always fascinated me. It was the "fidget spinner" of my youth. Fast forward a few decades and I found this sitting outside at the family property, while covered, it was slowly exposed to the who knows how many years of the elements.
I promptly took and placed this into my truck to return home with, and work on restoring it back to a working condition.
Please follow along as I bring an old childhood favorite back to life.
Best I can find on this old machine, was that it was made by the W.W.Oliver MFG company circa 1900 and was used in jewelry making
