We are offering for sale an authentic antique New England cast iron sewing machine. This was made byNettleton and Raymond ca. 1860 and sold as \"common sense\" or \"family\" machines.The second photograph shows a picture and description of this machine in an article titledLearning to Accept the Sewing Machinefrom the Henry Ford Museum Herald Magazine 1983. I believe that this article authenticatesthat this was made by Nettleton and Raymond. I will include the magazine with the machine.This is one of the smaller onesmeasuring 7 3/4\" high by 9 1/2\" long (including knob on wheel) 5\" wide (width of wheel).It is in good used condition. Wear to the paint and some corrosion to the metal. Works. Hand crankturns and needle holder moves up and down. I am not a toy, miniature or sewing machine collector. I have purchased a collection of 37 sewing machines that I will be listing soon and I am presenting them as found.The information that I have listed about each machine comes from the internet or from books.Please ask questions that are important to your collecting criteria as I might not have covered everything that is important to you in my descriptions.
