This sale is for one (1) antique Grossman SewingMachine the Dresdensia B (Straw Hat Machine) from Dresden in Almost MintCondition!If there is a sewing machine museum this babyshould be in it. Not only is it in nearly mint condition, it did so survivingthe scrap metal drives of World War II. It also has the number 540 on it whichI have included photos of. As far as I know everything on this one of a kindpiece is original and if I knew how to sew I would have tried it out to makesure. However, I see nothing to indicate it couldn\'t still work if you reallywanted to use it. This rare machine had to be manufacture prior to 1943 when allied forces bombed the factory that had been retrofitted to manufacture gun parts for the Nazi war effort. This was purchased in Germany and shipped back to the US. Please email with any questions.
