This is the equivalent of about $1500 in 2010 terms, and it is a high quality machine which has weathered the 120 years since it was made exceedingly well. Allen B Wilson invented the rotary hook and the four motion toothed dog style fabric feed. Wheeler and Wilson was once the biggest sewing machine manufacturer in the world, and had an enormous factory in Bridgeport, CT with 5 acres of floor space. 9 from a guy in Salem, who was kind enough to deliver it for an extra fee. As you might expect, there were plenty of options on craigslist for cheap, but I was picky and wanted something that looked (or could look) great, was in reasonable shape and so wouldn't need a ton of work, and also not too big in size. Becky and I agreed that a good looking treadle table would be best located in the dining room, where we could use is as a little sideboard or side table to put flowers when it is closed up. Looking forward to starting my new life free from commercial clothing vendors, I began cruising craigslist and ebay for a suitable treadle table to house my newly acquired Necchi BU Nova.
