Vintage Toy Sewing Machine Complete with Box

Little Betty is an interesting toy sewing machine from the 1930s in remarkable condition, complete with original box and was 'Made in England'. When threaded correctly, it produces a simple chain stitch, although I can’t seem to get the tension right to give a smooth stitch. All the levers operate when the handle is turned and the toothed mechanism underneath is designed to move the material through; there is even a small lever the raise the foot, and a spring tensioner for the cotton – just like on a full-sized version. As a décor item it is an intriguing vintage artefact, and it is also an ideal addition to a toy collection.
