Everything you see that is silver colored (except the bed and guide) is actually silver plated...

Dates to 1872(ish) The decals are about 98% intact.

She sews fine. Last night I finally finished cleaning the old oil off of the feed mechanism and got the stitch length adjustment arm freed up.

I am hoping to post a video of her sewing in the next couple days.

It is so weird to stitch left to right!

great job cleaning - wonderful and historical machine

Wow, that's a cool looking machine. I am glad someone is rescuing the antique sewing machines because they are worth saving. I saw a documentary a while back about China. They showed a picture of the farmer harvesting wheat into bunches and separating the heads from the stalks. He had used an old treadle base and made a nail studded cylinder to turn and rake off the wheat heads as he treadled.
