An electric sewing machine in 1874? Correct me if I'm wrong but this ad just doesn't look right to me.
It's just a mash-up of sewing machine technology. A lot of treadle machines had motors added later on. Too bad it doesn't still have the spoked hand wheel. That they have the belt going around the bobbin winder pulley is pretty funny.
