Motor works but does not turn the platen. Other mechanical parts seem to be in excellent condition. Button holer and extra pressure feet are included with the machine. The sewing light even still works!
ALL I KNOW ABOUT THIS PITCHER IS THAT THE PAIRPOINT MFG CO MERGED WITH MT WASHINGTON GLASS IN 1894 AND BECAME THE PAIRPOINT COMPANY. MY PITCHER HAS A PAIRPOINT MFG. CO STAMP ON THE BOTTOM. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION...DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW. NOT SURE IF IT IS SILVER OR PEWTER...THE EXTERIOR IS EITHER PEWTER OR DIRTLY SILVER...THE INTERIOR LID IS DEFINITELY SILVER SO THE EXTERIOR MAY ALSO BE...THE INTERIOR ENAMEL IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE MORE EVEN REMOTELY LIKE IT AND NOT AS LARGE.
Vaguely traditional and easy on the eyes, this small bowl pendant may have graced a bedroom or a breakfast nook in a 1940s home. Similar in character to AL2687, its all-glass construction is typical of the war era, when materials shortages caused lighting manufacturers to look for new ways of making fixtures.
