Default Gloria Hand Crank

Add infoI have this machine to in a Hand Crank and it is a great sewer much like the Singer 28. I did get some attachments with mine but no manual. Would you be so kind to scan the manual? I would love a manual. Here is mine but sorry for the poor lighting.

PS I do have the original receipt of purchase dated Jan 1913 for 26 English pounds

Thanks for all the great comments, everyone. It's a looker!

Glenn, yours is beautiful too. And yours has the hand crank, lucky dog! And yours is shinier and the steel is in better shape. I've got some work to do.

I'd be more than happy to scan it and send it. Give me a day or two, as the manual is in rough shape. I'll do the best I can but it's going to be a job to unfold it and make it scannable and readable.

Beautiful machine.

Thanks KenmoreRulesAll. I know these old manuals can be a bugger to scan. Thank you again. Yes I was lucky to find one with the original HC. Take you time on the manual no hurry. I will PM you with my email.

I saw that one this morning and almost posted it. I'm glad it went to a good home. I was thinking badged Jones when I saw it.
Congrats on getting a great looking machine.

I saw this yesterday and I thought it looked similar to a Jones but then I wondered if it wasn't just the round decal that made me think of it. Since you said it too I'm not bonkers, lol. Or am I?
It is a pretty machine, KRA. Glad it went to someone from QB.

Cari, I was reminded of the Jones' decals when I first looked too. Beautiful machine! You have brought home some seriously lovely items lately.
