Wow i would have that baby appraised by an aqntique dealer, you may want to get additional insurance on it. I doubt it could ever be replaced in case of theft or fire. It sure is a beauty.

Beautiful, especially the wood grain in the dome lid! Glad it was saved for someone who appreciates it!

your girl looks amazing...as for taking it apart...I wouldn't..she is not in that kind of shape..

here is a thread I posted on my 2 new vintage machines I got this week...http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-148340-4.htm
this should take you to page 4 were another member "Muv" posted a youtube video she made showing how to clean them when they are in pretty decent shape like yours..it is great info...

if you need links to other sites for vintage info, let me know..I have found quite a few this week.

I don't know if you had cleaned it up any, but the sewing machine looks brand new. What a great piece of your family's heritage. Too often I have kicked myself for not paying more attention when I was younger, especially when my Mom wanted me to have something. Both my parents have been gone almost 40 years and I will always miss them. Sometimes I wish they could come back for just a short visit to answer questions or just to reassure me that things will be all right when things get difficult. You're lucky to have daughters that cherish their ancestry and the heritage they bring to your family.
