Please help me identify this machine:
Hi,
I just returned w my find for today ~ an old Pfaff handcrank fiddle base sewing machine. The mechanisms work quite smoothly which frankly surprised me. Serial # is 1119xx.
This is my first Pfaff and I know nothing about it other than ISMACS has a machine w sn 115 dating to 1865. Is this really that old?
I'm wary to clean it, etc. What model is it? What size needle would this take? (It has one still in it). What size shuttle/bobbin?
My goal is to use it
Suggestions and info are truly appreciated!
TIA
Jae
