Default Davis VF1 (New High Arm) treadle 1885-1886

I just picked this machine up last night. It's my First VF. So Now I can start to understand how these machines operate.

This appears to be the third model Davis made. Still working on finding a Low Arm

This machine has the bobbin winder on the pillar like a VF1 should but it also has a mount on the treadle base for the Bobbin winder as the previous model used. this may be a "transitional machine"

Documentation indicates this machine uses a boat shuttle but the one included is a bullet...

As arrived...
