Title: Victor Sewing Machines(UK)
Post by: missfitz on February 20, 2004, 05:50:30 AM

missfitz@iinet.net.au
I have an antique or vintage Victor Sewing Machine from Manchester, England.  I don't know the history of this particular machine and I am having difficulty finding relevant info on the net.  

It is old (but I am not certain just how old), treadle type, in its own cabinet.  It is black with ornate gold flowers painted on it.
 
I am interested in determing the age and value of this machine.  Any suggestions/info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation.

No, not Vickers, VICTOR.  The machine is definitely a Victor.  Would a photo assist?
