I said I was done until my WG arrives unless something rare comes my way, but I broke down and picked this one up yesterday. After getting my Jones treadle from SteveH and absolutely falling in love with it (Jones is my maiden name) I found this one right over by my church and after talking to the lady, who brought it over here with her 30 years ago after being stationed in the AF with her hubby in England, she said it had to come home with me (She's a Jones girl also) so I picked it up yesterday. It has the user manual, a receipt from buying a pair of knickers from 1919 for 15 GBP, a handful of attachments, and it has the shuttle and bobbin. The slide plate has a patent date of 1893, and the serial number is in the 55000s. I'm guessing maybe 1893 or 1894 for the date. Either way she is stunning. She'll look lovely next to her big sister, as this one is a 3/4 size machine but the other is a full size.
