This is a used Gearhart antique Knitting machine. Not sure of mfg date. The machine has light corrosion throughout, from less-than-ideal display conditions, but isn't rusted solid. Gears turn freely. It seems to function but I know nothing about these so assume it will need work.Please look at photos carefully as I do not know if anything is missing. Or if it is put together correctly? Sold as is, no returns, no refunds. Gearhart Family Knitting Machine circular sock knitting mac...hine. I will Try to answer any ?. However I really do not know anything. I thought it was a cool looking piece I got at an old farm estate auction in Jefferson. Wisconsin. The last picture shows how I got it. There may be pieces that do not belong with it or missing pieces.....again I do not know. Has an extra cam & a box with extra needles. The cam that is on it is not completly full of needles (about 3/4 full)There are 2 appears to be complete ( but rough) instruction books. 1 in English, 1 in German.
