This magnificent sewing machine is virtually a collector's item as it was originally bought during the early 1960's in the UK. It is in excellent working condition and is superbly constructed using cast iron or steel bodywork, etc., not plastic as used extensively today. Not shown is the cover which accompanies this very special item. The cover is of wood and is sound but would need some attention to secure it to the base and complete its appearance. The handle too needs some attention. I seriously doubt if a similar machine can be found anywhere and certainly not in this superb condition. This unit is very heavy and must be collected. Whoever secures this item will be thrilled at their purchase.
