Hi Ms. Boats.
That is a great machine. Never have seen one in the midwest, yet. I'll keep an eye out. It is sooo pretty. |
This rusty Willard makes my (Red Eye) still stuck in the needle bar area look like it was new. I have been diligent about TriFlow and hair dryer, but she still won't move more than a tiny wiggle. Good luck with getting this machine moving, as advised, start with the oil/Liquid Wrench now.

I can empathize with you about your Redeye. The refurbished 27 with the crinkle finish that I posted about a couple of weeks ago is in the same condition. It is the only sewing machine head that has stubbornly refused to cooperate. I will eventually wind up learning how to dismantle the whole thing internally. Next time I visit my OSMG I am going to ask him how it comes apart inside when one can't access it. I have put it aside to alleviate my frustration. Or re-purpose it as a door stop. |

I sort of like the odd balls! This is a New Willard. There is not much information on the Internet regarding this machine. Decals are in nice shape. The last patent date is August 10, 1920 on the front slide plate. She came with a bullet shuttle and bobbin.

She is going to be really pretty when she is cleaned up and ready to go :) Nice find!

Nice decals on both of these machines! I've never seen/heard of New Millard before but I am loving the decals they used. Those "seahorses" look kind of like Chinese dragons to me. VERY pretty.
I am looking forward to seeing the first one all cleaned up. I bet it's going to be gorgeous! |
