Jig tying machine on ebay.

That thing is sweet! It'd be an odd piece of history to hold on to and I def wouldn't knock anyone for using it. It makes jigs for you about as much as any other tool we use. There is skill and knowledge involved in every tool you use which, in essence, makes them machines.
As long as you're comfortable then the automatic Shoot Down remarks just to be heard should go through ears.
G'luck on the bidding Rev!
If you get bored w it, I'll give you $15 for it!

The one by FisHair is a motorized one with a foot pedal control ... I have also seen a hand operated one that was really a hand made job ... There is no comparing the 2 with the motorized being so good.

They are both "Tools" and in the right hands can do great work.

My 2 cents worth

My first couple of tries gettin to E Bay to the item got me no where but this last click did.
That looks like on of the older models of the machine and should work just as good as the last one
I saw in action. Good Luck on your bid.

I had a machine for tying flies many years ago I could not use it at all is I could not get used to it but in the right-hand you can do some fast tying the lady that had it before me was a commercial fly Tyer she definitely knew what she was doing with the machine the machine to I used was built by a man in portland oregon they were made from sewing machine there were about 10 of them for the ladies that tie flys I am like skip I prefer the old-fashioned way of doing things and I prefer to do everything by hand after 40 some odd year or so I cannot get used to anything else but again if you have ever used a machine and really get good at it you could really out a lot of jigs.

That looks like a thread wrapping machine and would work awesome for the flu-fle style or thread neck jigs. I looked at their machines that they are producing today and it looks nothing like the one on Ebay.
Good Tying Toby...lol.

I wouldn't think it's operational... But watch out if it is... I will be cranking out abot 600 jigs an hour selling them for about 11 cents a jig. Put all y'all boys and girls out of business... I'll probably cause a material shortage for you guys..... Pbug get pouring and crazy angler and grandpa bob better stock up....y'all can start packing up y'all vises and put you material on eBay. I'm fixing to bankrupt y'all with my new fly tying machine... I'm gonna need to send my heads over seas to get the eyes painted..... wow that was fun
