Grover & Baker sewing machine 1861 Ross Marshall cabinet
 

Hi folks just found this beautiful old machine and hoping to find out more about it. It has the manual and several attachments. The lovely old cabinet is marked and last copyright is 1858. I am starting to clean it up. Can’t find the upload for photos. Will submit as soon as I figure it out.

I am looking forward to seeing your beautiful found machine and cabinet.

Janey would send you this if she was on.

Leon is getting good at copying and pasting https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png But that is exactly what I would have posted.

The only things I would like to add is that it is neat to get the machine with a manual and there is a serial number list at https://fiddlebase.jimdo.com/america...-grover-baker/

Welcome to the QB

Simply beautiful. Lucky you and welcome to this board.

Great find. Stunning parlor cabinet and such beautiful iron work for the treadle that few will ever see.

Wow!!!!!! that is one beautiful machine. I also noticed that it has an oil can. The dates are patent dates. It looks like it is a model 8. I was able to see some model 9s that have been refurbished. Be careful cleaning that up. Don't want to ruin anything.
