Lucky machine to have you rescue it. Looks like a beauty and good price too. Worth the drive and enjoy and show pictures when you have her all polished up. Table look looks to be in great shape too.

Really pretty!!!!!

Very nice, a Sphinx is on my bucket list, but hubby says I have plenty of machines now...I don't know where i'd put it, but I'd find a way. Enjoy.

So sad, be careful cleaning it. Do not soak the head in hot soapy water like I did to clean out the inside. The finish turned all white and wouldn't dry out.
Thanks for sharing with me. I'm new at the cleaning of old machines. Am studying the threads and videos posted as how to do it... |
Thanks for all the wonderful comments and encouragements! Cleo sounds good to me!

Beautiful machine. Enjoy!

What a great find and in such lovely condition, too! I have my grandmother's 1904 model 27 treadle and love to sew on her. It has many miles on it and the condition is far from excellent, but some of my happiest memories are sitting in my grandmother's lap as she sewed on it. I hope you enjoy your new baby!

She is a beauty. Congratulations on such a awesome find.

Pretty machine! Great price, even with the drive! Happy sewing!!
|
Beautiful machine! I keep coming back to this post to look at the picture!
