1904 Gearhart CSM for sale!

We're trying to cut back on what we have and have decided to sell one of our antique circular sock knitting machines.  This is a 1904 Gearhart that we bought a few years ago.  It has 2 cylinders: 64 and 56 slot.  I think these are pretty rare cylinders since I seldom see them mentioned by anyone else.

If you've looked at these machines much at all, you know they're not cheap!  All we're asking is to get our initial investment back and the improvements we've made, so the price is $800.  This machine is complete and works just fine with the 64 slot cylinder.  While we were told when we bought it that both cylinders worked and the 56 slot was great for children's socks, we were never able to get the 56 slot to line up right in the machine.

We have made many socks with the 64 slot cylinder, though.  There is no ribber, but we prefer the look of the mock rib anyway.  It comes with mostly new needles, a counter, set up bonnet, and we'll even throw in a couple balls of sock yarn.  The stand too, if you want it.

We live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and if you live nearby and will pick it up, I may be able to talk my husband (the primary sock knitter in our family) into giving an introductory lesson if you're new to this.
