Description

A true museum piece this extremely rare Hurtu Model A sewing machine with it's even more rare original treadle stand. See photographs. You can find lots of information on this beautiful and mega rare machine on the internet. They seldom come up for sale. This is your chance to buy a very rare piece of sewing history.
Beneath a paragraph from a well known collector:
The sewing machines that Auguste Jacques Hurtu
started making in the 1860's are amongst the most beautiful and collectible of all sewing machines .
All Hurtu sewing machines are rare and very few turn up for auction today. The ones that do turn up are keenly sought by serious collectors around the world and although most are treadle machines, or just the head of the treadle machine they still make a stunning addition to any collection.
Of course I can not guarantee the machine in anyway as it is well over a 100 years old. All that I can tell you is that it is a good working machine but it does need some T.L.C.  I once had a lot of problems with a buyer who couldn't get the tension right on an antique machine. So please be aware that you are buying an old machine. The machine is in complete , original untouched and unrestored condition.
