She's priceless to me.
Just the perfect example of the time just before the Industrial Revolution. Great American Innovation.
I work in software and just looking at this beauty reminds me of what we're all capable of - the sky's the limit.
Well made items will outlast their makers. As they should.

I'm so thrilled! I can't wait until I have a few moments to get to know it and sew something on it! After I oil it properly - the previous owner use WD40 to un-stick it.
Now what is this thing I noticed that you all name your pretty vintage ladies?
I have one just like this but the oldest copywrite date is 1863. That is civil war era. Hard to comprehend huh? It has no knicks, no rust, just beautiful. Wonder what they are worth? Enjoy your new toy!
