It is a 1910 Franklin with Egyptian Scarab decals. I'm sure you can tell me lots about the history behind the beetle symbol. I collect machines for many reasons: history, decals, size, cabinetry, unusual mechanics. But the number one reason is condition; knowing it can be restored and sews. I keep saying I don't have any more room for sewing machines, but somehow I find a way. Easily said, I love them.Mrs. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556632048798711513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183416806466219655.post-82965543306636721192018-09-22T00:40:48.589-05:002018-09-22T00:40:48.589-05:00Hello Elaine.

The Thomas Quien family (pronounced Queen) owned my Victorian house for 90 years.

I definitely see sewing machines with new and appreciative eyes since I have started reading your blog. <br /><br />You have so many machines. Do you notice any national characteristics, or is it more brand dependent?<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
