MACHINE Condition is very good runs and operates smoothly and produces a nice clean chain stitch. It does have some paint chips through-out the machine and motor which are very common with this old of a machine (please zoom into pictures). The electrical cords are original and show wear (these should be replaced at some point).
CASE Condition, case is the original made of fabric covered wood construction with the Wilcox and Gibbs logo, it shows wear as shown in the pictures, but very solid and sturdy, the top of case has a taped-on label, we believe this was from the factory when it was first shipped. It can be removed.

The chain stitch sewing machine was in beautiful condition and the packaging of the sew machine was excellent. The shipping was good and the box came was in great shape. I’m very pleased with this company and will probably do more business with them in the future.
