I have a chance to buy these machines, but I do not collect machines. I thought I would post them here to see if any of you are interested in either of them. The owner says she will ship anywhere, so if you are interested, PM me and I will give you the info on them. Both of them are in good working order as far as I can tell. No rust, just need a good cleaning, I believe.
This machine is in good shape and the wheel turns quite freely. It also has the original hand made wooden box it came in

This one makes a chain stitch, I think. The needle is there, but broken.

I wish I had a closer view of the machines so I can get a good look at them. I am trying to see what type of tensioner they have on them so I can date them.
Can you PM me and let me know what kind of money she is asking for these?
