Oh, I agree with Joy. If he has no sentimental attachment he just might say "take it" to you. You never know. Then again, he might be seeing $$$. She didn't have any old sewing machines did she???? Tee Hee!!
Now as I think about this...if it is truly that old, what would you do with it? You wouldn't want it to fade on a bed, you wouldn't want to keep it hidden in a closet, so a museum is a wonderful idea. They know how to keep it best. What a treasure! Thanks for sharing!!

I agree with the ladies - have it appraised first and possibly look at a museum. Such a beautiful treasure
