(A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU GOES TO J.G. FOR GUIDANCE AND KNOWLEDGE)

THIS IS A NEW ENGLAND TYPE OF SEWING MACHINE FROM THE 1860-70s AND CAN BE FOUND PICTURED
IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF EARLY AMERICAN SEWING MACHINES, 2ND EDITION PAGE 137


     THIS SEWING MACHINE CAME FROM AN EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY ESTATE AUCTION HELD IN THE MIDWEST. I ALMOST SEWED A BUTTON ONCE AND KNOW VERY VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE BRAND OR THE MAKER, BUT IT HAS A GREAT LOOK. SUPERB FORM. LINES ARE CLEAN. IT IS EXCEEDINGLY WELL-CRAFTED AND WELL-MADE.  I AM HOPING SOMEONE WITH GREATER KNOWLEDGE CAN IDENTIFY THIS MODEL EITHER BY IT'S SHAPE OR FORM OR OTHER ATTRIBUTES. IT IS IN DIRE NEED OF A CLEANING, BUT ALL THE PARTS APPEAR TO BE FULLY INTACT AND FULLY SECURE TO THE PIECE. WHEN I ROTATE THE HAND CRANK, THE NEEDLE PORTION GOES UP AND DOWN WITH EASE. GEARS MOVE WELL AND THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR MISSING TEETH. THE WHEEL ON THE HAND CRACK IS DAMAGED. THERE IS AN OLD BREAK ON THE SIDE.  THE WOODEN KNOB  SHOWS WEAR AS PHOTOGRAPHED.
     I LOVE THE FORM. WONDERFULLY CONTOURED AND CURVED IN THE CENTER. EVEN THE SCREW WHERE THE SPOOL OF THREAD SITS IS HIGHLY STYLIZED WITH EMBOSSED DECORATIONS. THE PAINT IS WONDERFUL....NICE SHOWING OF YELLOW AND RED BLOOMS WITH HIGHLIGHTS OF PINK AND GREEN.  SURFACE IS ORIGINAL WITH LOSS TO THE GILT AND FLORAL MOTIF IN SEVERAL PLACES.   THE BASE ALSO HAS SOME PAINT LOSS ON THE SIDES. THE BOTTOM IS SECURELY SCREWED INTO THE PIECE AND THE HARDWARE IS ORIGINAL. JUST THINK THIS A RATHER EARLY SEWING MACHINE. IS WELL-MADE AND ARTISTICALLY PLEASING. MORE LIKE FINER PIECE OF SCULPTURE. WOULD MAKE A PROUD ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION OF SEWING MACHINES OR VICTORIANA FROM THE ERA.
     IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WISH ADDITIONAL PICTURES, I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO ASSIST. I SHALL WRAP YOUR MACHINE WITH EXTREME CARE AND SHIP HER HOME TO YOU WITHIN ONE DAY. THE NEW OWNER IS TO PAY FULLY INSURED USPS PRIORITY SHIPPING CALCULATED WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES ARE TO PAY PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING/FULLY INSURED. Insurance shall be added at the end of the auction. THANKS! GOOD LUCK! cheers, z-
