Description
Here is an attachment for a vintage Willcox & Gibbs sewing machine, possibly incomplete.This auction features a sewing machine accessory which I believe is a very early tucker, or tuck marker, by Willcox & Gibbs. There are 2 round ID stamps, side by side on one section of this piece. One says, "Willcox & Gibbs Sew Machine CO New York" around the edge, with the appropriate symbol in the middle. The other says, "H.G. Goodrich Chicago Ill" around the edge and "Pat. Oct. 28. 73" in the middle, referring to 1873, of course. I don't know whether this is the entire original piece, or only part of it.
I have NO IDEA which machine this item may fit. I have included a COPY of a page from a Willcox & Gibbs manual which shows an "Improved Tuckmarker" patented 1904. The tucker in the picture resembles the piece here, and is included for the new owner's information. I've also added a screw from my stash which fits the opening for a "guide screw" pictured on this page, in HOPES that it may also work on the threads of the machine it's intended to fit.
Please examine all the pictures carefully to asses the condition of this item. I consider this attachment to be in
good to very good used
condition, considering their probable age, although it MAY BE incomplete. There is a lot of shine on what's here, with a few small marks of wear, age and use.
