I am so jealous. Where do you live? I don't ever see anything like that advertized around here. I would love an old machine of any kind, but that one is so different. You are really lucky.

I've never seen one like it before in my life. What fun you'll have in the next few weeks.

Lucky you. Not one but two!! Both look like they are minimal work to clean up.

I have a w & G to and am in the process of trying to get it working again. how are you going to polish the chrome??

someone here told me about a wonderful site: www.sewalot.com and then search for W&G, wonderful history and how to date the machine...

need to get a new treadle belt for mine and then I hope to have it going!!
