Paveway Handcrank
 

I'm so excited about this cute little baby. The man who sold it found it in his attic. He grew up in the neighborhood and said the house's previous owner lived there since the 1920s. That's all I could find out about it.

I have to get ready for Christmas, so I haven't done a really thorough clean-up, but I do have it all oiled up and cranking nicely. I have no idea how to thread it.

I also found an app to resize photos (called Resize, appropriately), so I hope these are small enough.

Like to see that in person.. it's the same machine I've been working on . needle bar pictures has it as a brunswick paveway. mines a treadle, they have the same decals I see your has the handwheel mounted mid way on the column , this ones at the main shaft. both have that coil spring at the face plate..

what do think think that center/ rear decal is ? Looks like it's supposed to be a Sphinx body with a dog or
wolfs head

That one is just cute as a bugs ear ...

O if you don't have needles just short seat a 15x1, this one likes that better than using the 20x1. well I like it better

That's adorable - what size is it?

What a sweet machine....looks beautiful.

That is sew cute:D

Pretty machine!
Thank you Steve for the threading diagram! Always good information to have. I know I wouldn't have guessed the needle bar was also the take up arm.

Love to look at these photos!

Love the decals on that Ideal handcrank. So cute!

What are those 3 little stacks for?

if your asking about what on top the arm ? stacks ? with the thumb screw and the shinny metal plates. Thats the upper thread tensioner.

it's ask about the size there a 3/4 machine, but a very small 3/4, I say very because of the physical size of the body. if I remember right the machine weight was between 16 to 18 lbs

Oh wow! I love this!:)

Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks for the info, I've been wondering about that for a long time. I guess the base is cast iron as well?

most are cast iron, That one looks like it is. last night I did some more searching on mine, but came on more photo's of this paveway handcrank, none of those had a base like this one. This went to a machine called a regal paveway, made by regal and not by national. regal was a upper end vacuum cleaner also.

Wow, that is the cutest thing. I love the base too.
