Thank you. The W&W is an amazing machine. sewing left to right is different.... Finding out that it was a silver arm was so cool. Even the previous owner of 30 years did not know that it was. she thought the dull dark grey was some kind of steel...
I hope to thread up the Howe and sew with her tonight.
It looks like my old Howe B is sold, now I just need so sell a couple more newer machines (and maybe a few curved needles) and I'll be set..
I am trying to find a copy of the Scientific American that the Factory drawing came out of.
it is dated May 3rd,1879, and should be issue 42-45 or somewhere around there.
