What a beauty! It is exactly like the one that my grandmother had when I was a girl. My mother bought it from her and then she sold it to my aunt who in turn sold it an antique dealer. I sure wish I had it now. I learned to sew on it . I was the only person that she allowed to sew on it. Need I mention that I was her favorite? I loved her dearly. I wish I had had the foresight to buy it from Mom way back when.
