White Peerless Sewing Machine

The Peerless was a 3/4-sized version of the White Sewing Machine Company's vibrating shuttle-based sewing machine named the White Sewing Machine. It was developed at the end of the 19th century as a portable version of what was a very heavy machine. A later model called the "New Peerless" came into production at the end of the 1800s, featuring a bentwood case and a fold-back handcrank for easier storage.
