As any antique owner will know, sewing machines have been in production for more than 200 years and the quality and workmanship that went into these early models still makes them a joy to look at today.  The typical antique sewing machine is made from cast iron and the patent information is located in a visible area.  These machines used a hand crank or a treadle to operate them and many came with their own tables or cabinets. 

Over the past two centuries there have been many advances in the technology used to manufacture sewing machines and today you can even purchase computerized models.  Miniature antique sewing machines are also very popular today and these models were used by salesmen as samples of the sewing machines they were trying to sell. 

Over the years there have been many successful sewing machine manufactures and these include Brother who thrived during the 1950’s.  Another successful model is of course the Singer sewing machine which is the first sewing machine company.  If you have an antique sewing machine, no matter what make or model, then you have something special.  Many people have inherited these machines from their parents and even if they are not in use, these antique sewing machines still look great in any home today.
