Vintage sewing machine with 116 years of grime mostly removed. Didn't remove the patina, but I suspect some of the funk on this piece is vintage cigarette smoke from back when everyone in the US was a smoker. #sewingmachine#ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #sewing #restoration

My friend in Norway just came home with this lovely old girl, wow. 💜 When I asked her if she’d mind me sharing the photo here, she said no, go ahead, this beauty should be shared. What a find! I see them around sometimes but never in this good a shape.
Cycling friends will also be pleased to know she hauled this heavy thing home on her cargo bike. :)
Update: she paid only 500 kroner - ~$50!!
