Description
Belonged to my great grandmother and has been handed down generation to generation. In excellent condition and working. Was kept oiled. Machine has a 56 needle cylinder on it with all working needles. Also includes a 72 needle cylinder and additional needles to use the larger cylinder. Includes 2 wire loops and 2 weights and yarn guide. With this model, the cylinder revolves and the cam mechanism remains stationary. This has no rust (except for the top of the additional weight), no cracks, and no warping.
