Item Description
Antique New Home Model A3
Treadle Head Sewing Machine with Original Manual,
Accessories in Original Box
and Needles
The Good:
Pictures are taken by me of the actual machine you are purchasing, not stock or stolen photos. This vintage machine makes a proper stitch when properly adjusted for the type of thread and fabric being sewn and is fully functional. Slide type stitch length control. Shuttle type bobbin located beneath slide plate in front of or behind the feed. Uses front clamp feet. Takes New Home needles and bobbins. Made in USA. Has mount for hand crank. Machine has been cleaned and lubricated. Decals are in very good condition. Includes original manual, assorted feet in an accessory set box (set is not complete) and extra needles. Additional pictures are available. The machine is packed threaded so you can see how it's done, and shipped DOUBLE BOXED for maximum protection.
The Not-So-Good:
There are chips on the bed, on the bobbin winder, at the top of the left end plate and on the handwheel. The paint is textured on the bed. Front slide plate is from another New Home machine and not original to this machine. Chromed parts have missing spots. See pictures for condition detail.
Additional Information:
Bed is approx. 13½" x 7". Needle is approx. 8" from vertical part of arm. Hinge holes are 8-3/8" on center.
In Conclusion:
This machine is beautiful and makes a proper stitch! Rulers are shown to demonstrate relative size and are not included. Please review the pictures carefully! Domestic shipping via USPS Parcel Post or Priority Mail. No International Shipping. Thanks for visiting Sew Many Stitches and Things!
