( The 9 may be a zero) Ive been tols it was used by ancient family slaves. I only have pics on my cell phone and will send to your email ASAP. please advise?? mike C.
Hi Mike,
From your description I believe you are referring to a domestic, our household (full sized) sewing machine. If so, this is not my expertise, sorry.
I can help you with Toy or Miniature collectible sewing machines or any antique thimble or needlework tool.
Regards,
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
