Oh, Oh, how pretty. Those decals look super. Congrats on your new machine!!

I am totally clueless to Willcox and Gibbs. The gold design is such a beautiful touch. Singers had a mansion on an island in the St. Lawrence River in northern NY which I have visited. The home was filled with Singer sewing machines. Guess always being a New Yorker is why I thought only Singer made sewing machines. What a beautiful machine you have acquired.

I have never seen one, thank you for showing and boy is she gorgeous! I don't collect but I am jealous!
|
That is just about the coolest little machine I have ever seen! Congrats on getting her! I like the Willie G name someone suggested too! LOL!

Our cousin's wife is called Willie---her name is really Wilhemena, but she never liked it. She loves her nickname and is a sewer/crafter, etc.

I'm so thrilled! I can't wait until I have a few moments to get to know it and sew something on it! After I oil it properly - the previous owner use WD40 to un-stick it. Now what is this thing I noticed that you all name your pretty vintage ladies? |
This is a new one on me. It is great to find something like that. It appears to be in good condition.

I have never seen one like this. Where is it made and approximate date of it if you have it.Gorgeous! Jan
