My late mother-in-law's sewing machine which she bought on 25th February, 1947, (see purchase receipt), just before her marriage to my late father-in-law in 1948. On this machine she sewed and mended the new and torn clothing of three generations of her family. We kept this old and rusty machine, and purchase receipt, in her memory. The face on the stamp was King George VI. (5 years and 2662 days ago)

I also have the same machine, and continues to work fine-
I like to use the pedal, it makes a nice noise.
I seem to be in a book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
nice picture, good
Wow! Still working after more than 60 years. I bet you don't have the purchase receipt, assuming you bought yours
They don't make them like that any more. Yes, the soft clanking sound of the step pedal gives the house a homely feeling on a hot afternoon when the woman of the house has some time on her own.
