It sat outside for two years. Our daughter found it and brought it to us.
Your machine turned out really pretty. Hope to get some of ours looking as good as yours.
This one had been out in a garden, too. Mizkaki went with me to pick it up. I found that the needle bar on tree goes through a tube and that was the sticking point for this machine. The parlour cabinet Is really interesting on these. The irons actually look OK without the cabinet outside attached. I am actually just finishing up the irons that came with this machine. The last patent date on mine is 1916, but it is from the rear slide plate and I don't know if it is original to the machine. The serial number from behind the pillar is c129673
