Cleaned Up Sewing Machine

I cannot for the life of me find a circa date on the Gilbert plug, but I am pretty sure it had been rewired.

Here is a portable (missing case, though) motor patent 1927 White Sewing Machine I brought back to good running order.

I found it sitting in a thrift store, covered in grime and dust and a little dirt, along with some mildew on the wooden base. I talked them down to a good, low price on it.

It took an hour, but when I got done removing the grime and dust and powering away much rust and all the mildew, as well as doing a light repair to a splinter, I plugged it in and tested the bulb and pedal.

It works great. So I moisturized the rubber wheel to have it give better grip, and now my parent desires to use it (after she made sure the bobbin was still there).
