Antique Hand Crank Glass Tensioner Willcox Gibbs sewing machine. RESTORED 1884

Description

This a very beautiful 1884 Hand Crank Antique Willcox Gibbs Glass Tensioner that I have Restored, S/N 412142. All old paint was removed and was repainted with a Automotive Medium Red Metallic paint and the cloth plate painted with a Graphite Gray with Gold strips and after new decals where put on it was sprayed with a Automotive two part clear coat paint with hardener  to seal and protect the new decals. It sews a good stitch and works easy. The decals where made to the original specification for the Willcox Gibbs machines. All parts where clean and the plated parts where polished to a good shine. The wood base is solid Pine wood  and a Provencial finish on it with paw like feet. This machine was made just about the time these would change from Glass Tensioner to Automatic Tension. Question welcome. no shipping International.  There has been some welding done on the housing under the cloth plate, it isn't visiable and doesn't hurt the machine at all. #770
This would make a very unique Christmas gift for the Wife or Mother.
