From wikipedia:

In the 2010 "Alice in Wonderland" film, the Mad Hatter sews hats on a nicely restored model 27-4 hand-crank machine

Looks a lot like my Gertie! She's a 28.

Thanks! She's playing with the Minnisota. My other DGD loves to sew on the 128, with a needle, of course.

It's a Minnesota B. I have a box of parts for a Minnesota A, I didn't know when I acquired them that the shiny wheel was different from mine. I love the suicide knob - I looked for years for a way to add a hand crank to that thing. (Thanks Miriam!)
