Default Added another Wheeler Wilson to the collection

This one I can cross off my "really, really want to get some day" list. Though if I found one in nicer condition that was affordable, I'd probably get that one too.

I'm not sure who it is on this board that has one, but the first time I saw it I fell in love. I do have a soft spot for the smaller machines anyway. I figured I may never see one of these - and last week one showed up on eBay. Seller was a "0" and didn't list it well. I didn't even find it until I was looking over all the machines in the Antique section to see if something slipped by me. I found this one with only two days to go.

The seller did a good job packing - it was double boxed and wrapped nice.

She's missing a few pieces, and the case needs some repair - but I'm still very happy to have her



She's missing the throat plate and part of the tension. the full size WW plate fits for width, but is long. The tension is the same, and I know I can get those readily enough.

And next to her full size sister (younger sister too). They are the same height.









The case is pretty heat - it's got the lever on the front that retracts and extends pins that hold the cover on. There is a keyhole right below it that locks them in the "out" position.





not sure what the other hole is for, but it appears there would have been something there the hooked into the front of the machine to hold it down.
