Unfortunately, it has not arrived yet, so I don't have an underside pic yet.... But is does have a shuttle and bobbin.
The difference with this unit is most of G&B's were chainstitch machines. they did a special G&B stitch. This does too but it is a lockstitch.
I would LOVE to find one with a transverse drive wheel. someday....

oh, and I did get a rough date as 1875.
This company was the last of the major members of the "combine" for me to collect. I have one of each of the others. There are some smaller makers but those are even more scarce than G&B's
