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.

deplaylady,

Thanks for doing that bit of research.

The little sweetheart in your avatar is oh so cute.

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!)

I have a Minnesota B too. It's my favorite antique machine.
