I've recently been reading some "Sewing Machine Times" from the late 1800s to early 1900s and it looks that there may have been some refurbishing done during that time. I wonder if this may have happened to this machine. I'm having trouble finding much information on "Louis Barbey" Needlebar says that they made a machine called "Win-Sew"
It looks like some of the varieties of 24's took different type feet, but the needles are 24x1.
