So..... Now the real question is Would YOU drive 13 hours round trip in one day (we came home Saturday night) for the privilege of buying this for $250??
As I unloaded it... [ATTACH=CONFIG]420742[/ATTACH] After the cleanup and reassemble [ATTACH=CONFIG]420741[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]420743[/ATTACH] Yes, those are Silver Plated arms... 4 total bobbins, needle sharpening stone. (Yes, I have a set of needles that came with....) [ATTACH=CONFIG]420744[/ATTACH] These are the parts I do NOT know what they are.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]420745[/ATTACH] How about this beauty. Seam ripper. [ATTACH=CONFIG]420746[/ATTACH] This is the ad in the "paper" (Actually Scientific American May 3rd,1879) This purports to be a drawing of the inside of the Wheeler & Wilson Factory [ATTACH=CONFIG]420747[/ATTACH] |

Steve,
I have one of those on my W&W #3 (see the red arrow). I believe I read that it is a thread lube. It attaches to the needle bar and holds oil in it's wick. [ATTACH=CONFIG]420750[/ATTACH] Cathy [QUOTE=SteveH;6139880] These are the parts I do NOT know what they are.. [QUOTE] |
Absolutely that a 13 hour road trip is well worth to purchase that sewing machine. I am envying the fact that she still has her glass feet. Guard those with your life as they are nigh on impossible to find. Unless, hint, hint, you can fabricate replicas.

Beautiful, a real museum piece. Enjoy.
