Paul’s sewing machines made by the Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Co.
This page is ordered by age, and only includes machines
made by the Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Co..
A separate pictorial index includes
all the machines I've ever owned.
Willcox & Gibbs got their start when James
Gibbs invented his now widely used rotary hook for
forming a single-thread chain stitch. The classis
W&G chain stitcher was manufactured almost
unchanged from 1858 through 1940.

machine related entries).
