Willcox & Gibbs sewing machine parts w/manual & instructions
Manual and boxes falling apart; mostly clean; looks great!
The Wilcox and Gibbs Sewing Machine Company was founded in 1857 by James Gibbs and James Wilcox. James Gibbs created his machine by making adjustments to existing models to make a better product. His machine used a single thread in making the stitch whereas the others used multiple threads. He also created the revolving loop that pulled the correct amount of thread up through the material to make the next stitch. These were both major improvements to existing machines. Also, their model came with a wooden case. Lastly, their machine was also less cumbersome and less expensive. It was James Wilcox who approached the Providence, Rhode Island company of Browne and Sharpe who were, at that time, makers of clocks, watches and measuring instruments, and asked if they would be interested in producing their machine. They reluctantly agreed.
