<p>[QUOTE="Bamazon Chantz, post: 2363888, member: 13307"]I recently discovered this item while I was looking for something else that I continue to look for. HaHa! All was not lost in my search since I did find this piece. I asked my mother what, where and whom it might have come from but she didn’t know very much about it. She’s not exactly sure where it came from other than it might have been my grandfather’s. After our family’s days of sharecropping we’re done he went on to work as an electrician and later machinist in the textile industry at Avondale Mills. This is where I thought this item may have been acquired but it looks older than what he would’ve worked with at that time. It looks to be a sewing machine of some kind. I’m just hoping to restore the story of this piece & it’s attachment to my family so it’s never lost again. Any information would be greatly appreciated!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]261597[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]261596[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]261595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]261594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]261593[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]261592[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
