Hi, I can give
you a little information on your broom equipment. The winder is
most likely home made using parts from an old winder (its a left
handed winder). The press might be a "Peak Pattern Press"
ca 1920. The trimmer is not a trimmer, its a sorghum cutter, a lot
of people have used them as trimmers. This is the best that I can
do from the pictures on your site. Take care, Bill.
