Gold Medal 1870's

Photo 1
Hi Everyone This machine is a Gold Medal c 1870's made by Johnson Clarke & Company which later became the Gold Medal Sewing Machine Company. If you look very carefully at Photo 1 you can see the Hand Painted Roses on the Left-hand side of the bed. This is one machine where we should have taken a before shot because she certainly did not look like this when we got her. Rob has polished her plates up beautifully and rubbed her brass til she shone. We do not ever touch up the paintwork or the goldwork that is what was under all the grime. She is a little machine classed as a Miniature and stands just 7 1/2 inches or 19cm high and is 11 inches or 28cm long. She is a chain stitcher.
Bye For Now Lynne and Rob
