1910 National Paveway Sewing Machine | Restore this 112-year-old antique sewing machine with me!

I've recently completed a light restoration on my #antique #sewingmachine, and it's ready to sew for the first time in many years! Take a look at this 1910 National Paveway #treadle sewing machine, and learn a bit about its history and how to use it. You'll also see how I cleaned a century of grease and grime from this machine and uncovered some gorgeous decals.

I purchased all of the cleaning and polishing products shown in this video on Amazon. I used sandpaper that ranged from 120 to 3000 grit, and 0000 steel wool. With both the sandpaper and the steel wool, I used ordinary sewing machine oil as a lubricant. I did a final polish of the unpainted metal parts with Simichrome metal polish, and I used a little sewing machine oil on a rag to do a final polish of the painted and decaled portions of the machine. The oil will help prevent chipped areas from rusting or rusting more in the future.
