Ok, on to the next step. This just makes life more interesting when trying to put everything together to make it stitch...that's the fun. Could you tell me if there is a maker printed on your bobbin case or attachments? Greist? That would help me in the search. After doing much research on the internet I have come to the conclusion mine was made in 1887 or 1888. I have put a list the Company's patents in order of how they were printed, starting with mine which is the earliest I know: Feb 5.84, July 6.86, Jany 18.87 (those are on my machine (Serial no. 58676). Now on to others I have collected) June 11.89, Feb 24.91, Nov 7.98, Dec 12.93, May 8.94, May 5, 96, May 26.96, Dec 28.97, Aug 24.98, Oct 17.99. These of course are in the 1800's. I don't have info after these dates.
