Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Hey Vintagemotif--Looks a lot like a my Damascus National IEB. As soon as I saw the words hexagon shaped, I knew they had to be related. Mine has been dated at 1890 and is in a parlor cabinet. I restored the cabinet back in the '90's but still haven't restored the machine. Some not so kind soul scratched all the red and green jewel decals off. GRRRR

That cabinet is GORGEOUS!! The machine does look similar to mine, just the stitch length regulator is in a different position. So sad that someone did that to the decals. The hexagon shape must have been a design that Eldredge liked and National continued with for some time.

Texas Jan, Your machine looks more like the National Governor A machine. Google National Governor A sewing machine for an image.
And it's DamasusAnnie that has National "The Eldredge" that is close to what mine looks like, just minus the swinging oil plate left top front. Her machine's decals are gorgeous!!!

I have one of these, but the bobbin winder is all messed up....I can't get it out of the "engaged" mode! So the motor whines, but the needle doesn't go up and down. Hope that describes it... I love the machine's look, too, but it needs someone smarter than me to work on it. (Talking about the green Viking).

Monica, your stars are exquisite! I have never tried paper piecing, but seeing those red stars makes me want to give it a try - on something small anyway!
