Early sewing machines

English Lever

I am interested to buy all sewing machines of the pre-1880 variety.

This means I do not want machines by Singer, Frister + Rossman, Jones or Pfaff. The general rule for collectability is that all the working parts of the machine should be in view with none hidden inside a wooden box base.
