Default Willcox & Gibbs is now mine

I just acquired an A model with electric base and wooden case today. To date it, I came up with 1900 for the first way and 1923 the second way. I don’t have an original foot pedal. Need to clean and do some maintenance. I also need to find needles. Any suggestions on where to look would be appreciated. I apologize if I’m repeating the same questions others have asked. I’m just excited.

Being electric, the 1900 date is not possible. These are hard to date as there weren't many changes to them for a lot of years.

I have one of these that I would love to get sewing but its missing the motor. Could you post a couple of close up pictures of how the motor attaches to the hand wheel?

It should give you lovely chain stitches. I like the bottom better than the top
