Here is a Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine. Since, Wheeler and Wilson sold to Singer in 1905, this machine has to be older than 1905?
Does anyone on this forum have an actual Wheeler & Wilson as opposed to a Singer 9W Wheeler and Wilson?

And there are several W&W #8's on this thread some even in their Parlor Cabinet. I see the early W&W's all the time so they are out there. What I am looking for are a few of the Antebellum machines to add to the collection.

Nancy here is a picture of our Wheeler Wilson dated 1854 and we have a Wilcox Gibbs dated 1884. We also have a National dated 1869 and a Domestic fiddle base dated 1870-1880. Few others dated pre 1900's.

It's been a good start to the weekend. We just looked in the back of our truck and these two were lurking in the truck.

OMG! I just got an e-mail on this machine on Craiglist. It is an 1887 Wheeler & Wilson that has sat is this guys closet for 30 years. His Mom used it! He said it is in great shape! I can't see it right now, though, as he is in a VA hospital! I can't wait until he gets well and comes home so I can see the machine! Geeze, I guess that sounded hard?

You have quite a collection. Very interesting machines, and look at the treadle -- two feet-- Geeze! Those are probably the ones I was talking about earlier that were hand fitted, filed, and don't have interchangeable parts. Very cool!
