An address book that was handwritten and among the accessories was written by the owner.. from Amsterdam... some german notes and numbers. ?? could be telephone numbers. The owner was 90 years old when she last sewed with this machine.. now past and her son was selling her stuff. Unfortunately the shop owner wouldn't give out any names..

Busy cleaning off the 112 years of accumulated gunk these days.. TY for your help. Judy
Wow, Judy that is so cool owning a machine with a known history. You need to write this stuff down and keep it in the cabinet for the future generations. Those old gals will be around way past our age 90! Please post a second photo once you get her all cleaned up and oiled!
