You can turn the handle, but it's not functional. I'm listing it as an interior decoration piece. It's an old LEAD hand-crank sewing machine. It has scratches, stains, and rust. There is no case. I'll also include the old thread in the photos. Width: Approximately 39 cm Depth: Approximately 23 cm Overall height: Approximately 23 cm It's a very atmospheric and cool sewing machine. If you understand and appreciate old items, please consider purchasing.
