Description

This is a working 1889 White Sewing machine that has been in my wife's family since bought by her Great Grandmother.  It was used and is in good working condition short of the rope that needs to be retied.  Nothing restored as it was when she stopped using it a long time ago.  As seen in the photos there are a lot of extra parts, needles and assortment of boxes and even the directions on how to use the machine.  Very amazing quality of work in the manufacturing of this machine. 

 

Thanks for any help. 

 

Sincerely, 

C. Suarez
