Second, Perfect spot. Unless you would like to open a unique thread so it can be discussed separately (totally cool)
Not immediately familiar with that badge, but I'll take a look around. Based on the fact that it appears to have a full reverse, and the shape and style of that mechanism, I would guess a 1915-1935 German machine. If so it should have excellent engineering and manufacturing and be a great sewing machine..
It looks to be in great shape (a picture of the underside of the head would really help)
Clean the body,wood, and mechanisms with sewing machine oil ONLY to start with. After you become more familiar with your machine and this site, we can walk you through other methods to really bring it to the best it can look and work.
Congrats!
Thank you very much! What do you mean by " a full reverse"? I really don't know anything about much about sewing machines. I'll try to get a picture of the underside of the head when I get the opportunity. Thanks again.
