Brunswick Basket Case
My DD called me this morning and told me a friend of a friend had an old treadle given to her and she had no use for it. DD asked should we get it? Well we ALL know what the answer was. This sewing machine was found in an old falling down shed and has suffered some major water damage. The cabinet is a goner. But I do think the machine head can be restored. There is a lot of dust and accumulated mildew covering the decals but they are not bad underneath. Nothing is turning and the shuttle is rusted along with the slide plates. But there are no missing parts. This one may be in for a long kerosene soak ala Billy.
An Internet search produced an article on the ISMACS site regarding the Brunswick. It was manufactured by National Sewing Machine Company for Montgomery Wards circa 1913 and cost $12.95 to $17.85.
By the way, that is my great grandson, Jaydon, in the first picture who is keenly interested in all things mechanical.
