That one machine is Civil War era, not pre-Civil War. The US Civil War ran from 1861 to 1865 so it was made during the war. Those old harp machines so much look like scrollsaws.
Dear Pileofiron I have a Willcox & Gibbs Treadle Machine and I also have A frame the same one that is in the pictured in the postage stamp for the video it is the one on the extreme right or the sewing books.
Could any one tell Me the name and maker of this machine,or would you be so kind to ask the lady who owns the sewing machines,I can not find one like it anywhere else.Thank you God Bless
There is no need for electric. I don't know anything else about these machines. They belong to a friends wife and she displays them once a year at a small festival.
The one with knee pedal no need electric right? Can you tell me how many threads for the one with hand crank operated? Are there 2 threads, spool thread and bobbin thread? Thank you.
