Jones Sewing machine approx 120 years old

I love sewing.  I picked this swing machine up from a open day at a transport museum it cost me £20.  It isnt a bobbin, it is a shuttle and it still works, I have the original instruction book and the original wooden case with it as well.  A lady on Facebook did a bit of research and told me how old it is and how much it would have cost and that was approx £20, which was a lot of money 120 years ago, it fascinates me that a seamstress earned her living on this machine all them years ago.  It now has pride of place in my sewing room. xxx
