    This looks like the grandfather of sewing machines and meanwhile it's research time for me again:))

    My husband found it today at the same area he found the old cupboard.
    Hope you enjoy this old guy!

      It's very cool! But, I've been unsuccessful at finding any information on Google search. Someone out there will be able to tell you about this cool sewing machine. Nice find!

      hi scott tried finding info online but couldnt as well.My hub say it might be an old philips machine.Hope fully fortapache might pop by.

      I am trying to read the label. I see McKenzie Philip Product and I am coming up with nothing. Looks like a hand cranked machine which is not common.

      oops I see a belt on it but don't see where the motor would have been mounted. You may want to take it off the base and look at the underside for more information.

      yes fortapache amazingly its still in good working condition with a small blue cloth attached to it.really wonder how old is this grandfather..hmm...

      the wooden box and the sewing machine is detactable. when it came it has a motor attached to it but my husband said that it was modified. okie will take a look at the base of both the wooden box and the machine itself and see what i can find ;)

      Dear frens,found a lead on the sewing machine this morning. Realised that my eyesight is sharper in the morning....spotted the word "dunson" in the metal plate near the blue cloth and looked it up. Apparently it is manufactured by Chandra Industrial Corporations, New Delhi.Thanks much to fort,scott and thomas for helping.
