Looks like to me it must be between 1873 and March 1876. I'll look for more dates tomorrow. I'll go read that Sewmuse article now. I'll shoot a couple more pictures tomorrow of the "jewelry" she has. Just read the article, so it must be one of the first ones of 1876. Now that is neat !

Texas Jan I am so glad you got that machine! That machine needs to be owned by someone who appreciates her value! What a steal you got her for too! I am in awe of you right now! That is a dream of mine to find a machine like that in the shape yours is in - along with most of the people on here I am sure! You go girl! Maybe, I will luck out with something like that one day too! Congratulations to you!
