Part of my fusion of sewing machines and the Civil War.
Dated to 1866(reconstruction era), but the seller swears that the Richmond Depot used them because he saw one in a Richmond museum. Could be. See Machine Sewing in RD Jackets. Be nice if someone knows what exhibit in what museum.
This model machine was being produced in the late 1850s-early 1860s. I found it in the cradle of the Confederacy, Montgomery, Alabama at an estate sale. Sewing machines produced the uniforms that clothed the Union Armies that aided Union victory. They were as much a part of Union victory as rifles were. It appears that they were part of the CSA logistics system.
Did I mention Mine all mine?
