Ooh la la, that looks really great. Surprised that it isn't a vibrating shuttle, during that time, most all that you could find were vibrating shuttle machines.
Very nice collection. I have nothing older than the 1890's. I like that Willcox and Gibbs chain stitch. It looks great for it's age, I know I wouldn't look half as good if I were as old as it. XD
That's awesome, I work in the area of sewing machine restoration and repair. I love that machine, it appears to be from the 1890's to me. GREAT find. I wouldn't find anything like that for less than $100.00 around here. I have been told to use Goop Hand Cleaner. Very good sewing machine cleaner...
