BTW if your DH damages that case I will RUN across the pond and beat him to death with a feather duster :twisted:
This is my one:

My DH buy me one just like it. with no key!!! If you take a samll sreew drive and put it in the hole and ture easy you sure be able to get it open[ a drop of oil in the hole may help]. If that dose not work if you can get the top away from the base just a little you can slide a knife in the space and move the lock that way. If you was close I would love to help find the baby in the box.

I think I remember hearing that the key is a shape - like a square or triangle... Sorry, I do not have one to share. Don't let your DH break the box!! I have a machine that came without the top of the box, and am looking for a replacement. Not easily found :-(

So what kind of a machine is she? She is a handcrank which is not surprising as many communities in Newfoundland did not have electricity until into the 40's and 50's.
I think she is beyond beautiful! ( and I was not actively looking for a vintage machine...)
Now that she is out should I offer it back to my sister? She really didn't seem to want it!
Maybe I have more of an affinity for it because my grandmother taught me to sew when I was 7 or 8 on her old Singer treadle machine. My sister two years younger didn't get to use that machine because by the time she was old enough my grandmother was dying.
