I have a small (10") Casige child's sewing machine but it is not in the best of condition and I don't have the box. I do enjoy having it on the shelf in my sewing room. However, there were several "old" miniature machines that were called "salesman" machines. These were miniature models of the regular size machines. Salesmen used to take them to the homes of potential customers to demonstrate what sewing machines were and how they operated. We have one that is a Foley and Williams model. It is not in great condition also but my DH is going to try to restore it as much as possible.

This is what it should look like

You have a great collection of children's sewing machines. What makes it more special is the fact you have the boxes they came in. Also, the cost of your investment was amazingly low. Thanks so much for sharing.
