Found my Willcox & Gibbs!!!!
#136
Mine apparently had years of wear as most of the gold is rubbed off. But there is some on the back still. I have it in the corner of the room so it was hard to get a photo of the back. It's a neat machine! According to the Sewsalot site, mine was born in 1900. Hope these pictures come out right, always have trouble getting them on.

I showed the picture to my husband and said "I want one of these". He said he saw a machine like that in the shoe repair shop. He said it was made to sew leather. Funny because that is what happymrs said earlier in this discussion. I was so surprised when he acted like everyone has one of these. Is it possible that there were several models of similar machines? Of course the shoe repair is long gone.
