My son gave me that box as a gift once and it's on a shelf in my sewing room. I forgot about it until you posted your pics. I'll have to get mine out and look at it.

Congratulations on your new addition! And good luck getting her cleaned up! I am curious to know, how does this machine run? Is it a manual wheel or treadle? I couldn't tell from your pictures...

nice machine! I hope you can get her up and running!

She is a treadle machine. When I said she was a basket case, it is really true. The treadle base and top need to be put back together before the head can be remounted. This one will be a real test of my mechanical abilities. The wheel turns (hooray!) but she is in need of a deep cleaning and oiling. I will have to find the bullet type of bobbin case because I have not seen one yet among the loose parts. The bobbin winder is disassembled and I am hoping that all the pieces and screws are included. The decals and finish on the table of the machine are very bad, worn and cracked. Other than the oiling I will likely start putting her back together in the spring when the weather is warmer. It is too cold to be working in the garage right now.

Please show us a picture of her when you get her all beautified.

What a great gift! Even if she doesn't work she will be lovely to look and tell stories about. And think of the stories she could tell from 1893!
