  1. Do you have any additional information about this decade in the life of WVP? I just bought his "Lincoln's Patent Fringing Machine" from 1876 and am trying to learn about the inventor.

  3. I do indeed, Susan. I also have information on the inventor, J. B. Lincoln. I will try to post this soon, but in the meantime, you can see his original patent at https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/pages/US184637-0.png - congratulations of obtaining this most rare item.
