My uncle's friend asked if I wanted this machine that he has no use for, and yes I very much did want it, so now I have a beautiful crusty old friend to clean up!

I've never sewn on a White before, but from what I've read online they're very good. Quite a bit different from the Singers I'm used to though. The hand wheel moves in the opposite direction.

It was manufactured in the U.S. (more specifically - Cleveland, Ohio) sometime around the mid 1880s. I'm told it hasn't been used since about the 1970s, but that it used to belong to a woman who made her living by sewing on it for many years.

There's a lot of gunk and old dust to remove, and I need to shorten the drive belt and probably replace the rubber ring on the bobbin winder, but the moving parts are already spinning very smoothly and quietly so I'm hoping it won't be too much trouble.

A couple of days ago i finally finished the Meiji Komorebi Dress that was on my WIPs for YEARS! after finished that i decided to make a cute Parasol and a Hand Fan to go with the cute outfit. And of course, a pose box (My very first Pose Box YAY!) that also go with the Dress and the accesories hehehe.

Both Parasols and Hand Fans are no compatible with hats sorry. I run out of UVmap Space and i really wanted to look good so. Hats were sacrificed. Also, i made sure that the parasol and fans were compatible with other creators pose boxs. If they used an accesory with the Stigmata weights they will be fiiine.

I don't remember any of my German relatives using the word "OK" freely in the 1980's, preferring to say: "Gut", "Klar" or "In Ordnung", not because they didn't know the term but because it wasn't proper German. The same way we were discouraged to learn "nix" for nothing, and told to use "nichts", my mother even discouraged me to use "mal" or "total" as filler words. (This has since changed dramatically, and there's nothing wrong with using any of these words in today's German).

Given that, I do not think a German immigrant from 1883, who is the sole English speaker of a group of pioneers, would reassure his countrymen by repeating "Alles OK" several times. Even if they had learnt the phrase, I think it's unlikely they'd all adopt it at such short notice.

Kudos for casting real Germans in 1883, but this character of "Josef" speaks like a millenial. He even addresses the leader of the group, who is decades older than him, with the informal "du" instead of the formal "Sie". I wouldn't dare do that today. Now maybe when they'd been speaking dialect, which is known for being more intimate, but this is high German.

The actor's German must have been adlibbed and apparently, it's fine to say "Du" to senior gentlemen you don't know these days? Anyway, I'm sticking with Sie, and in 1883, they would have too.

Alternatively, maybe a group of LARP'ers from the 2020's found a wormhole and are being: "Shit, act natural!!!"
