Hubby & I went back to the Antique Show and this is one of three we found this afternoon.
On the slide plate above the shuttle bobbin it says, W.A. Henderson & Co. General Acts, USA. There were these numbers on the other slide plate, 3334.
I am at a loss to the age of this machine. Hubby & I think it is Civil War era. Does anyone have any ideas about her age?
Blessings,
Sandi

it's strange I cannot find anything out on this machine!
Was there an Edmond's Department Store in your area? Some machines were badged with the name of stores and even newspapers. I have a machine badged "Harper", for the Harper and McIntire Hardware of Ottumwa, Iowa. It was actually made by National for the store.

That's a good question.. The owner lives in Virginia.. so I may ask her if she knows! Thanks

You would be surprised at how many of those type of machines were built in the 1870's and 1880's. But I think you have something here with this one. I will look around the NB and see if I can find anything. I am really amazed that the shuttle is still with the machine!!!!:shock: :shock: :shock:
Does it still function or is the little one locked up? Either way you have a wonderful piece of history in your hands!!!
Oh and do not even consider painting this one yet until we can find out more about it.

I thank you Billy for your help in finding out her history. Hubby would love to show her off at an antique show he will be a part of this August. She will be a wonderful attention getter.
