Default Wheeler & Wilson #8--Latest in Shopping Spree

Hi,

Two machines in two weeks is quite a bit for me--must be Spring Fever. Davis Edison Electric last week and a Wheeler and Wilson #8 yesterday only 10 miles away for $80. I believe she dates from 1885-1887 or 8, the last year of manufacture before the #9. The bobbin case has a patent of Aug 1885. Lots of neat stuff in the drawers. Not pictured is the 12(!) 400 yd rolls of white crocheting cotton. She's in real good shape and should be up and sewing before the arrival of the bluebirds and daffodils.
