Abstract:

Mrs. Cora T. Wall of Speedwell, North Carolina, owns and uses what is believed to be the oldest lock-stitch sewing machine remaining in the United States. A genuine Wheeler and Wilson sewing machine, built in 1869, this model served as the forerunner to today's modern Singer brand sewing machine.
