Jones – G. H. Lee & Co. – Circa 1932

Here we have a beautiful and rather unusual “The Lee” hand-crank sewing machine, manufactured by Jones and supplied under the name of G. H. Lee & Co. of Liverpool. G. H. Lee was one of Liverpool’s most famous department stores, with a history dating back to 1853. The business eventually became part of the John Lewis Partnership, making this lovely machine a fascinating little piece of British retail history. Beneath its distinctive branding is the dependable Jones Family C.S., a beautifully engineered British sewing machine renowned for its reliability and quality stitching. Serial Number: 451731 Date: Circa 1932 Manufacturer: Jones Sewing Machine Company, England This lovely example has been professionally and meticulously restored and serviced by Vintage Sewing Machines UK, and is ready for its next owner. The beautiful decoration remains wonderfully vibrant, while the wooden base and traditional carrying case display the honest signs of age and use you would expect from a machine approaching a century old. Please study the photographs for a full appreciation of its condition. It’s beautiful to say the least.
