Wow, that is rare! What an amazing option!

I can't wait to stitch with Wilhelmina (trying on a name suggestion). In the book it shows some interesting options. It's going to take me awhile to get through it all. :-) I can't wait!



Ah the home of the Chain Stitchers!!! I have a really rare attachment to go on a Class 15 machine that turns it into a chain stitch machine. I think it was a Kenmore option but it will work on any Class 15 machine. Really neat little piece.

Here is my FC Henderson which is really close to your machine. It was made by Standard Sewing Machine Company and sold by FC Henderson who sold Sewing machines and Pianos in the late 1800's in Boston. I believe it to be an 1870's model because of a few features on the machine.

But it will be a treadle powered machine!
