OMG I am in love!!!
Someone might get jealous of this machine but I want to be Mr. Frister and Rossman Handcrank!!!
That is a wonderful piece of history you have in your possession and be very careful when you clean the machine up. I am flabbergasted that the shuttle and bobbin is still with the machine!
You did wonderful with the purchase of a fine piece of German engineering!!!

Thanks Billy,
I was grinning like a cheshire cat when I got her. My DH was still trying to convince me to get the other machine until I told him later that this was a much better one to add to my collection. I am feeling a bit intimidated with the cleaning process for the first time since I started do this a few years ago. I have been taking it very slowly and savouring the process. The wood work is very fragile all that inlaid veneer is difficult to clean around without loosening any more of it. Mostly I just stare at it and smile right now.
