Vintage GRITZNER hand-crank sewing machine on wooden base with domed cover

Lot: vintage GRITZNER hand‑crank sewing machine mounted in a wooden table base with its domed wooden cover. The GRITZNER name is visible on the headcasting; handwheel and wooden crank handle are present, needle and presser foot fitted and a bobbin/case is present in the bobbin area. The machine keeps its original black finish and gold lettering but shows surface paint chips, scuffs and wear to the wood finish.

This is a great piece for a collector, prop user or restorer — use as a display piece, a source of parts, or return it to service after a service/clean. It suits vintage sewing machine collectors, furniture restorers who appreciate original wooden covers, set designers and hobbyists who want a hand‑crank machine for small repairs once the mechanism is serviced. The mechanism turns but is stiff/gritty and will benefit from cleaning and lubrication or professional attention before heavy use.
