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.
