Item Description
Approximately 8" x 10".Early sewing machines (the best were made by Howe and Singer) were far too expensive for women to purchase outright, so both companies leased them by the year. Nonetheless, they were expensive. This customer's copy showed the annual lease cost was $64/yr (more than $1,600 in today's dollars) payable in monthly installments.
In nice shape.
