I wonder how they decided it was English. It looks like an old National to me. I could be wrong. My ID skills aren't as good as some members here.

I'd agree with Rodney on that one.

Here is a local Black White...

Also seen them call a buttonholer, a handheld sewing machine.

It was a commercial machine.... Until someone stored it outside for several years.
Certainly not worth the asking price now.

In Pleasant Hill or Concord? More like a couple of decades. Maybe I could have rescued it before I left in 1997.

It was a bit of a shock to move up here where you can't store anything outside, unless you like a nice mossy coating on top of your rust.

And, they've reduced the price of The Lark (down from original posting of $750):

Seems he also gave up his rant about the most expensive machine in the world, etc.

That guy up in Duluth MN has spent too much time outside in the winter and his brain has frozen.

Makes me almost ashamed to say I'm from MN too . . .
