What a little beauty! Love the Gothic Revival style irons - very unique! To think this elliptical was just a step away from the rotary is amazing! What an innovation!
how wonderful...could there possibly have been a rubber wheel on the bobbin winder at one time where the bobbin snapped on to to keep it in place?...just a thought...........
Hi Howard. That is an interesting theory. I am not sure about the rubber tire as there is a belt groove on the wheel that looks to correspond to the winder, so there would need to be an open groove on the winder wheel as well. Such are the mysteries of these old machines.
Sloat was sued by just about everyone in the patent pool known as the Sewing Machine Combination because Sloat didn't feel patent laws applied to him. He lost and had to give up his machines to Nathan Wheeler. W&W had been making his machines already.
I need help determining which model I have. Is there anyway you can help me? I think it’s from 1875 but I’m trying to sell it and need to know the details
Hi Sami. Your best option is to join one of the very many face book groups dedicated to vintage/antique sewing machines and post a photo and ask there. Best of luck!
I love your varied and beautiful collection. Always happy to find that you've uploaded a new video. Happy sewing!
Thanks Rich!

@@SewMachines thanks so much I don’t know why I never thought of that!!!
The audio is very low. Alas.
Interesting, as I just played it myself and was able to hear everything without issue. Thanks for watching!
