Wow, the table and decals look really nice on this one. In the Cal Poly SLO area....too bad I won't be there for another month. http://slo.craigslist.org/hsh/3000339060.html

Hi, guys, been so busy that I fell behind. Spent the weekend trying to catch up, but to no avail. Been out junking and came accross this. (Will attempt to insert Pictures). Wonder what ya'll think. I am going back up next week, and may just bring her home with me, just for looks, as I would have no directions as to operate her. It is a Wheeler & Wilson, we think from about 1850-1870.

Onalee, that's a Wheeler & Wilson...and we can find you directions!! :D It's an earlier model, but which one is escaping me right now... I'll look for it and get back to you unless someone else knows.
Bring that baby HOME! (I would!!) |
Onalee... Needlebar information just refers to the machine as a "lowbed" saying that the numbering system of these early models was somewhat unreliable... for example, what started as a W&W #5 later became a "W&W #something else" :D
From what I can see, this is from at least the early 1870's, maybe earlier...and will be a curved needle machine. I'd be interested to see better pics of the machine!! :) |

Thanks jljack. You mentioned that your DH does woodworking. Do you have any of his work posted on this board?

I finally tried a little bit of FMQ on my 301 yesterday. I got the clear plastic foot from Sew Classic. It was a very interesting experience. I quilt on a short arm on frame setup, so the feeling of moving the fabric instead of the machine was really different. But I liked it, and my 301 did a great job. I have to practice, practice, practice, but I can see that I would use this for smaller projects. |
free treadle for the taking http://stlouis.craigslist.org/atq/3000987420.html

Hmmmmm......not sure what to think about that. Hope the machine survived somewhere else.
