Summary
A small metal sewing machine, possibly for a child to use. It appears to still be in working order, although the needle is broken. The handle on the turning wheel is made of dark brown wood, but the wheel itself is silver-coloured metal. The sewing surface plate is silver-coloured, but the stand and main body of the machine are painted black with a design painted on of blue flowers with gold-coloured foliage and blue and gold-coloured bells. The paintwork is slightly chipped and the metal beginning to rust.
