ANTIQUE VINTAGE PRIMITIVE COLLECTABLE HAND OPERATED CAST IRON SEWING MACHINE. THIS WAS A RECENT PURCHASE FROM A FARM ESTATE SALE, IN GRANGER, INDIANA. A VERY HEAVY PIECE, MADE OUT OF CAST IRON. IT WORKS, ALL PARTS MOVE FREELY. I DO NOT KNOW THE MAKER, I SEE NO MAKERS MARK. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE EITHER A NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE, OR A MUELLER SEWING MACHINE BY A DEALER. IT IS DUSTY, DIRTY, RUSTY, AND HEAVY. I DO NOT KNOW IF ALL PARTS ARE ON IT, AS I AM NOT AN EXPERT. IT HAS A GOLD COLORED FLORAL PATTERN ON THE BOTTOM PLATE, AND ALSO ON THE MACHINE ON BOTH SIDES. ALL IS FADED AND SOME OF IT IS OFF, OR GONE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAD BEEN OILED, AND YOU CAN STILL FEEL THE OIL ON IT BUT IT IS THICK. THIS WOULD NEED TO BE CLEANED AND RESTORED, BUT STILL MOVES FREELY. IT DOES NOT HAVE A NEEDLE. IT SITS ON ITS OWN BASE AND HAS A CAST IRON KNOB, AS SHOWN IN PICTURE 1, ON THE BOTTOM, TO OPEN AND SERVICE IT, AS SHOWN IN PICTURES: 3 AND 4. THESE IS SOME SMALL SURFACE CRACKING ON SOME OF THE CAST IRON, ON THE BOTTOM BASE IN VARIOUS AREAS BUT DOES NOT APPEAR TO GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH. MACHINE MEASURES: 12 " WIDE, AND 12 " HIGH AT ITS HIGHEST POINT. BEFORE PLACING A BID, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SEWING MACHINE, I DO NOT KNOW ACTUAL AGE, WHO THE MAKER IS, AND IF ALL PARTS ARE ON IT, ALSO BE AWARE THAT THIS IS DUSTY, DIRTY, AND RUSTY, AND DOES HAVE SOME SMALL SURFACE CRACKS IN THE CAST IRON. IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE DO NOT BID. THIS SEWING MACHINE WILL WEIGH WHEN WRAPPED WELL FOR SHIPPING: 30 POUNDS, AND WILL BE SHIPPED FAST BY UPS, ONLY, AS INSURANCE IS INCLUDED WITH UPS, AND IT WILL BE CHEAPER TO SHIP BY UPS, THAN USPS. THIS IS A WONDERFUL PART OF HISTORY, AND WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR CAST IRON COLLECTION, OR SEWING MACHINE COLLECTION. ITEM IS SOLD AS IS, AND AS DESCRIBED TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT ME PLEASE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS CAME FROM A SMOKING HOME OR NOT, AND IT WILL NOT BE CLEANED BY ME.
