I was looking for information about an item I have [View all]

We got a photographer's birdie in a box of stuff years ago. I wanted to see if I could find a value. I came across this You Tube video of a restoration. The restored birdie is like ours, but ours is pat'd 1-13-23, so it isn't 140 years old. But the video is cool to watch. The guy used 3D printing to make a part that was missing, past meets present.
