Westfield Columbia - G519: MC18089A / L2

[byke!punk]

Today, I am thankful for the opportunity to be the next caretaker of this old war horse.

Purchased out of southern Missouri from a retired woodworker. The nice gentleman said he had saved it locally from being junked some 20 years ago and it remained tucked away in his storage until now. He could offer no other history beyond that.

Large photo dump to follow. Enjoy.
