DH and I were antiquing yesterday and ran across this very old sewing machine. Last patent for it was 1845. Check out that foot pedal. It is in excellent shape. Beautiful cabinet. The back also opens up.

look how close the foot pedals are. That would be uncomfortable. Glad they improved over the years.
