On her excellent blog Turbogirl posted a great article about old sewing machines, and suggested that we start a thread showing old sewing machines. That's exactly what I'm trying to start here.
So, here is mine. Bought in a charity shop for a fiver, it isn't in working order as it is missing a needle and a few other bits, and needs some tlc, but the mechanism is still nice and smooth and I hope to see it restored to use as my wife would love it. I haven't been able to locate a serial number despite going all over it (including inside and underneath) with a torch, but from the weblink Turbogirl posted in her blog, I think it is a model 12.
Anyway, here are the pics.
I can't be the only person with an old machine, so let's see yours.
