Hi, my name is Ian and I live near Sydney in Australia. My wife Claire and I have been collecting old sewing machines for nearly 40 years, starting when we were living in the UK (we were some of the original members of ISMACS) and collecting most of our machines there. We have three W&W machines:
- No.1 serial no. 163426 - this machine I'm currently working on. I've got the head cleaned up and moving but unfortunately a lot of the silver is gone and there is no needle or bobbin. The treadle itself is all intact but the half case top will need major work.
- No. 8 serial no. 190595 - this is a hand machine and is in excellent shape
- No. D-9 serial no. 2439045 - again this is a hand machine and in very good condition, maybe not quite as good as the No. 8
