Scroll Saw

Many of them on the market are reproductions. They show up on Ebay often. Even if it is authentic the price is a bit high.
One of the catalog woodworking stores had similar ones in their catalog a few years back. Can't remember if it was Rockler, WoodCraft, or another.

A friend has an 1860s vintage treadle lathe that I get to play with from time to time. Great fun!
