1852 Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine

Mom went to a new antique shop and found an 1852 sewing machine. Apparently, it was such a great idea at the time, that Singer bought out the Wheeler & Wilson company.
This is what it looked like.

This is a schematic of what Mom saw in the antique store.

Mom has never seen a sewing machine that is older than this one.
