Default Look what I found
Our area had a junkfest today. Look what I found for $5. It is in disarray, but I love it. Does anyone know anything about it or could it be restored? thanks It is a mini about 6 inches high and 8 inches wide.

Oh, that's fun!
I'm trying to see how the feed dogs are connected... And is that the tensioner on top of the machine? Very interesting...
Have fun playing with it!

Looks like a genuine antique. Check it with Victorian sweatshop forum before you do much to it.

Would just be nice cleaned up and used as a "decorative" piece in your sewing space.
