    That looks like a beauty. I am way far away.

    Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.

    Abraham & Strauss was a Brooklyn, NY based department store. I think they were owned by Federated Department Stores, the same group that owns Macy's. I believe they went out of business in the late 1960's or early 1970's. I remember my mom buying a lot of my school clothes there. A&S was a great store.

    It is a beautiful machine and cabinet, but I personally think it it's overpriced.
