On the slide plate above the shuttle bobbin it says, W.A. Henderson & Co. General Acts, USA. There were these numbers on the other slide plate, 3334.
I am at a loss to the age of this machine. Hubby & I think it is Civil War era. Does anyone have any ideas about her age?

Whoa Paw Foot alert!!
You would be surprised at how many of those type of machines were built in the 1870's and 1880's. But I think you have something here with this one. I will look around the NB and see if I can find anything. I am really amazed that the shuttle is still with the machine!!!!:shock: :shock: :shock:
Does it still function or is the little one locked up? Either way you have a wonderful piece of history in your hands!!!
Oh and do not even consider painting this one yet until we can find out more about it.
