Wilcox and Gibbs chain Stitch Sewing machine from same family. Well maintained in working condition. All the original patent dates are clear to read on the sewing plate. The wooden base has one leg missing, still sits straight. Numbered under sewing base 7703.
I will update later but I think this may fit into a large flat priority mail box which can be shipped for $18.50 I am in the middle of moving and have taken to new home.
