The machines both made it through their travels safely, though neither had a long journey.
The first came from Il - this is a New Home Rotary. I'm very excited to add this one to my collection - I love the early rotary machines. Someone attached a hand made knob to the flywheel, and the machine looks and operates like it's been used more recently than what I normally find.
The plate flips up out of the way - and there is the bobbin case with a bobbin in it.
And the little one - also a New Home machine. It came from the middle of IA - and the two machines met up in SD and had their last two days journey together. This one came in a large box that had the machine packed it another small box, and the lid of the case packed along side with all the "extras" wrapped in padding and inside the case. Very pleased with the packing job.
and the case top
This shows it along side the rotary - it's such a cute little machine! It needs to be re-wired before I attempt to plug it in.
