The machine was not a success and the company soon moved
into bicycle production in an attempt to save the Dorman
name. But by 1903 after an attempt to build cycles out of bamboo
canes it went into liquidation. Cotton spool on this
model sits horizontal between two spring steel finders above
the machine. Miniature white porcelain handle, Not in G.T. but if 
you have Landgraf's it is on page 75.
