Here we have the second American No. 1 that I own. As you might recall, my other American No. 1 is in a rare Three-Quarter cabinet. This American No. 1 is in a very uncommon Half Cabinet.
I purchased this sewing machine back in October of 2023 in Chillicothe Ohio. I met the seller at a gas station and when I was inspecting the machine I noticed that the front slide plate was missing even though it was pictured in the ad. We searched her car and the cabinet and we weren't able to find it. She mentioned that she lived right up the road and she offered to go back to her house to look for it. My wife and I followed her back to the house and luckily she was able to find it on the floor of one of the rooms in her house. Whew! That was a close one! The below pictures are from the FB Marketplace ad.
Due to the weather I couldn't take pictures outside when unloaded it from the car. Here are some picutres that I took in my messy garage! The only thing I did with this machine so far was replace the keyhole escutcheon and fixed the bonnet lock. This machine/cabinet is also in line to be restored. Stay tuned!
