This one doesn't suck nearly as bad as the machines we usually see.

That Sheldon looks almost exactly like the one I have! Very similar.
Mine was originally used at the Badger Army Ammunition Plant near Prairie du Sac Wisconsin, during WWII.

It has some way wear, but was taken pretty good care of otherwise.

I love it; it's a great machine. (At least for a "hobby" machinist!).
