AND -- as I was packing up the final tub of treasure to be added to the Art of Homemaking Auction -- I decided to add these items. Although they didn't make the trip in July -- I am much further along in my downsizing project -- and I realize they aren't gonna go to our new house...

DeleteThe Westinghouse button hole cams brought back memories of sewing on Mom's Westinghouse. I miss those cams. I think it much easier than my Singer :( today.
ReplyDeleteWhat treasures!! My mother had a New Home sewing machine (you had to practically stand on your head to wind a bobbin, as it was done on the Back of the machine!), and I still remember how excited she was to get that buttonholer (very similar to the one you show) for it, probably in about 1953 or so. She would no longer have to hand-stitch buttonholes on our clothes! It went when we traded in that machine on my first Viking (I gave her my Kenmore so she now had a built-in buttonholer, not that she did a lot of sewing by then). Such memories! (But I'm really glad the bobbins on All of my machines wind in front or at at the side!)
