This wasn't a CL steal, Glen turned me on to this machine about 3 years ago. Went and saw it but couldn't agree on price with owner. A couple of weeks ago I revisited the deal with the owner and was able to agree on a deal that I feel was very fair to both.

Very clean original, complete, and works. I usually don't chase 44's very hard although I do like them. Being that it was so close to home I decided to pull the trigger.

From when I saw it the first time I forgot the machine was an original, I remembered it to be restored so when I saw it again I was surprised it was a original. Although the value would be higher if it were restored, I always to appreciate a clean original.

It seems that the 44 is the easiest machine to find as a nice original. I'm assuming because they are small most I'm sure were put in indoor locations opposed to being outside.

No idea how an original machine would be considered lacking in value compared to a restored example.
Great find and congrats!
