The hand crank turns smoothly, and the needle moves up and down smoothly in conjunction with it. Since we have not conducted sewing tests with actual fabric, this item is being offered as an antique decorative or collectible item.
The sewing machine itself is in such beautiful condition that it looks as if it were unused. The vibrant royal blue finish and gold lettering shine beautifully, and there is no noticeable rust or scratches.
・The original paper box, featuring adorable illustrations of children, is included. The box shows signs of age, including wear, tears, rips, and scuffs, but these are part of its authentic historical charm, having protected the product for many years.
Please carefully examine the high-resolution photos to accurately assess the beauty of the exterior, the markings, and the texture of the original box.
Please check the photos carefully before purchase.
