the Great Revolution Sewing Machine
When I was in St petersburg Russia I rented a room from a lady who spoke "difficult" english. She used this sewing maching even tho she had a new electric one. She said this machine sewed straight.
It started out as a treadle and was then electrified, but she changed it to a hand crank. Perhaps because of uncertain power. It had been her mothers machine -- bought in 1920 and treasured all thru the war -- even the 3 year seige of St Petersburg by the Germans.
Thought you might like to see it. There are so many Singer knockoffs around the world.
