This Mini Treadle Sewing Machine Music Box would make a perfect little decorative piece or a great novelty gift for anyone who loves to sew.
Although this little article is actually made of plastic you will be amazed at all the little details on it. There is a real piece of fabric under the presser foot, a silver-coated plastic scissors and pattern on the table. There are knobs and a little center draw that actually opens and is large enough to hold small items like buttons or pins.
The music box plays to the tune Für Elise by Beethoven, no batteries required just wind and play. You can watch the machine move to the music: the foot pedal and needle go up and down, the hand wheel turns around! Start and stop the music by winding it up then opening the drawer to play and closing the drawer to stop playing! It measures approximately 7 inches by 6 inches by 4 inches.
It is somewhat delicate though – you’ll want to keep it somewhere safe such as near your sewing machine or work area for viewing or on a shelf and definitely not someplace where it will get constant handling. Personally I love this! It’s a really fun and charming find; I bought one myself! Waiting for it to arrive as of this posting! I will post an update when it arrives! I believe that this one is sure to be a winner.
