What a beautiful old Clydesdale! You just can't beat those old machines for heavy duty work. And with everything that came with it, wow, what a treasure!

Wow, she is beautiful. I would guess you could use sewing machine oil on her. But wait for and answer from the experts.

I just found one almost like this on Craigslist. Only differents is the style of the handles. Told me I had to have it. $70 later I am the proud ower;) . Only thing wrong is needs a little repair work(minor) and the needle cup bottom is not there(only the cover) .
Could you post a pic of what the whole needle cup looks like.
