You won't believe this!! I have found the original instruction booklet and it was written in German and English. It had a stamp of the store and address of where it was purchased. I looked it up and the store was open for only 2 years. 1890-1891 My great grandma was not married until about 1904. So this was her mothers sewing machine. I am so excited to have all of this! I printed off the information I found about the store and will keep it all with the machine. Pretty awesome...I hoped to find a receipt, but didn't.
