Wheeler & Wilson's No. 8 Sewing Machine

Wheeler & Wilson's No. 8. I could not pass this sewing machine up when it was offered to me. She was made between 1878 and 1880. I am now looking for the glass feet which are inserted into the presser foot, a very unique W&W design. Since these pictures were taken I have fixed the drawers attachment to the cabinet top

 Before picture of the cabinet. I have since given it a treatment with Hormsby furniture restore.

 This is the bobbin winder assembly. Note in the picture below is a small wheel to be placed on the bobbin winder post to sharpen needles.

 Above in the plastic baggie is five bobbins and one of the unique glass feet.
