"Midget" Toy / Travel Size
/ Child-Size Antique Sewing Machine
The "Midget"
TSM is a well known early toy or travel size sewing machine.
The condition of this machine is very nice. It is hard to find them in
this nice condition, and harder again to find them in their original box w/
instructions and other accessories. Even more difficult is to
find one with the decoration variant. The body decoration is
Calla Lilies and this variation is very rare. I have had and seen hundreds of other
Midgets and similar machines made by Foley & Williams, but this is only the second one
of these with this style decoration that I have had or seen in all those
years.

"Little
Comfort Improved" Toy / Travel Size
/ Child-Size Antique Sewing Machine
The "Little Comfort Improved"
TSM is a well known early toy or travel size sewing machine. This one is in
its original colorful red cardboard box. It was made by the Smith & Egge
Co. There are several variations or versions of this machine, including a
chain drive model, one with a rounded body, this square bodied version, and
more. From reading the info on this box we learn that over 50,000 were
made. These can be found with different numbers on the boxes, and some
have the price of $2.00 or $2.50 as well.
The condition if this example is super with over 95% of the original finish intact. The box is pretty nice for something
made of cardboard that is over 100 years old. These machines can be found in lesser condition pretty regularly,
but do not turn up in this condition very often. A nice example to add to the collection.

"Little Lady" TSM Toy Sewing Machine in Original
Box I have never seen a
Stitchwell / Little Lady before, and I have never seen any National Sewing
Machine Co. TSM by any name in a suitcase box like this one. I am not sure
if it is factory, or owner built by some little girls dad back when she first
got it in the 20's or so. The machine is carefully and well mounted to a
piece of oak that perfectly fits into the box. The box is outfitted with
an area for spools and a box for accessories. Very different, and Nice!!
