This lovely little chainstitch machine was obviously based on the American made Willcox and Gibbs and except for some minor differences is almost identical. Although I have no proof I believe they were made under licence and I believe would date to c1900. Its serial number is 3640.
Although the serial number is quite low I would think that the numbers only relate to this model which were definately made in very small numbers.
Unfortunately I do not have the cover for it. It would be wonderful to get one :-)
Cheers Rob
