1872 Howe sewing machine with cabinet

By blitalian, 1 May, 2011
Description

This is a 1872 Howe sewing machine I just purchased from an estate sale.  It is in ok condition and has the brass seal.  Cabinet is in good condition as well.  I do not have the owner's manual, but found a downloadable version online.  I know very little about these machines.

I've not seen very many come up for sale at auction to base a recent value for one.

Re: 1872 Howe sewing machine with cabinet

My great great great grandmother had a sewing machine just like this. I am looking to buy one like it for myself. (I played with it as a child). If you  ever deside to sell it please keep me in mind. Thank you and happy sewing.
