While in Seattle this week visiting my sister, I took some photos of this beautiful Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine, a family heirloom purchased new in Boston in 1928 by our great-aunt for $118.00.
The machine is tiny by today's standards - the pencil gives an idea of scale
The manual makes reference to use of a treadle – this model has been updated with an electric motor.
Pages from the original manual name the parts and show quilting set-up
