[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 237089, member: 360"]Yes, I apologise, it is a mouthful! Behold my latest toy: [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/85/1d/00/851d007d3790539172a6f6961dd70f03.jpg[/IMG] Manual sewing machine. Made in Germany by the HUGO WERTHEIM company. Beautiful condition and after cleaning, lubrication and adjustment of a few nuts and screws, it's now in sewing condition! I remain confident that I can also fix the malfunctioning bobbin-winder. It is the machine's only fault. Apart from that, it comes with a selection of feet, its original lid, four bobbins, one shuttle, the original, green and gold-tinted tin attachments-box, some beautifully intact decals and decorations, and is in excellent working and presentation condition! Date? About 1890-1930, although my guess is that this is later, between about 1920-1939.
