I am at a loss to the age of this machine. Hubby & I think it is Civil War era. Does anyone have any ideas about her age?

Sandi, this is just about the coolest machine I have ever seen!!! How neat would it be if it really was from Civil War times??

Thanks. It would be really cool if it were Civil War era. Gotta do some checking and see when shuttle bobbins started appearing on machines. There is so much to learn and we acquired four machines this weekend. Still need to check out the other three.
