Antique Wheeler Wilson sewing machine

Description

Antique Wheeler & Wilson Number 8 sewing machine manufactured in 1883!!
Serial number 362233.
Yes, it still works and includes: the attachments, needle, bobbin, and “coffin” lid/cover. The table also folds out in the back to give you more space.
Some of the gold paint on the metal foot peddle of the treadle still remains. The machine head has some paint loss, some of the veneer on the cabinet is chipped ... normal wear considering this machine is 130+ years old!
“the Wheeler & Wilson new machine was the most completely successful, failing in nothing that was given to it. The beauty of its stitch, especially on leather, was unsurpassed and it obtained a second award "for superior quality of work in leather stitching"...
Sewing Machines awarded at the 1876 Philadelphia Exhibition
