Restoring a Betsy Ross Toy Sewing Machine: A Tiny Machine with a Big Story
This 1950s Betsy Ross toy sewing machine arrived chipped, rusted, and frozen in place. I fully disassembled it, sandblasted off the old finish, color-matched the original green paint, and refinished it with a professional-grade automotive clear coat. After polishing the stitch plate and reassembling the internals, it now looks and runs beautifully. A small machine with big character—restored and ready for display.
