Late 1870's white sewing machine
I was in Redhouse Antique Mall in Redhouse, Md and found a late 1870's white sewing machine for sale for about $100.00. The cabinet is in good condition along with the machine. I could find no numbers on it. Found patent dates from 1872 to 1877 stamped on needle plate behind the needle. The wheel turns easily. The manuel is in pieces, but it is in one of the drawers. Is it worth the wrath of DH to get it, or should I turn a (gulp) blind eye to her? Sorry no pics.
