    Many people have asked me over the years which sewing machine do I think is the one I like best. Well the Arm & Platform by Edward Ward made in 1873 has to be one of them. It is also one of the first free arm sewing machines. I do hope you like it. Alex Askaroff.

    Sublime. I agree with the article you mentioned. It looks like a dress maker’s dream!

    Thank you for answering. I was curious because it seems as though hand cranks are predominate in the UK, but treadles are here in the US. I'm just getting started in treadling, some how I've already acquired 2 in the last 6 months. (Singer 66-1 and 15 both 1921). I'm not sure what thrills me more ... the hunt, the acquisition, restoration to working order (not perfection) or using these beautiful engineering works of art. I think it's all of the above. Be well, Laura

    Lovely - imagine a hand made sewing machine at this level of artisanship and engineering. Brilliant form and function - and as an artist - I love the hand painting.
    I'm very curious about the paint used and also curious about how decals were made originally - and how to renew them / repaint them.
    Warm regards Jennie

    Hi, Yes it is amazing. People don't see many early Victorian sewing machines but there are some beauties out there. Alex

      We just received one as a donation. Its an incredibly futuristic machine when I compare it to many others of the same era.

    Hi Laura, yes the machine was available as a treadle but I have never seen one. They are as rare as hen's teeth. Actually my teeth are getting rare now as well... Alex

    Oh my goodness, what a treasure. Alex was it also available as a treadle or only as a hand crank? Thank you so much for sharing these wonders with us.

    Dobrý den pane Alex, ten šicí stroj je neskutečně krásný. Jestli jste jej zrestauroval, zasloužite si obdiv, protože dnes takovou krásu neumí nikdo vyrobit. Omlouvám se, neumím anglicky, tak píši česky. S úctou Jana.

    P. S. Ty samolepky na šicí stroj se dají koupit? 🇨🇿
