In fact, the auctioneer thought it was a salesman's model. It is 8 inches tall, and 10 inches wide. Can you tell me anything about it?

Terri, please post photos and let us know how you like sewing with that machine. Those Wilcox and Gibbs make an awesome chain stitch! I love the stitch for a little decorative touch, especially when top stitching something! It is also great for hemming jeans - to get that nice stitch look!
