Hi, we just moved and the woman who lived in this house had an old
sewing maching i bought off of her because she could not take it
with her. it says on it Domestic and when you lift the lid on the
part under the needle it is metal and says..

nov.15 1864
jan.31 1871

i have also added some pictures so you all can see. just wondering
if it is really old and if i got a good deal. i love it and think it
is beautiful. i dusted it off and put it in my living room.
i have more pictures also.

thanks, Donna Richmond.

Can you tell what the belt is made from? Old style belts for some kinds of machines are still available.
