For collectors or sewists, it's a little piece of sewing history sure to be a treasured addition. This is a Model 173 White Rotary sewing machine dating back to the early 1900s. It is in fair cosmetic condition showing wear and age appropriate for its vintage. The machine does still power on when plugged in and the motor is operational. However, it has not actually been used for sewing in many years. After sitting idle so long, it will need a thorough cleaning, oiling, and professional servicing before regular sewing use. The lubrication has likely hardened and dried out. The mechanical timing and systems will need adjustment by an experienced vintage sewing tech to get it running smoothly again. Once properly cleaned, adjusted, and serviced, this White Rotary should be operational again for decades to come. It was built to last. The service provides an opportunity to ensure this piece of history sews beautifully for the next generation. I am selling this as-is knowing it needs that critical TLC service. With some work, it can be a wonderful functional heirloom. Please factor the cost of servicing into your purchase decision.
