This sewing machine belonged to my friend's great grandmother. It is really totally mechanical, no electric or electronic stuff at all. On the machine is engraved: Patented June 29,1897

I think you did an excellent job showing all the mechanical parts of the machine. The so called table on the left is actually the lid for the machine. The sewing part actually folds down into the table and the lid folds over and covers the recessed machine. It actually converts into a table stand. I think a lot of younger ppl do not recognize old phonographs, sewing machines, and some of the other kitchen utensils in this challenge. I am still amazed that an electrical operated sewing machine finished ahead of yours.
Certainly meets the requirements, but this setup does nothing for the picture...reminds me of a shot you'd see on ebay or The Antique Road Show. Maybe if you'd crop down to just its fly wheel or something like that it would give more punch.
the missing corner adds a sort of action, but still it feels like lacking... and also the bacground (and the angle? - not sure) is a drawback, while the color and polished wood are good
The different patchwork in the blanket behind is somewhat distracting to the nice piece you have there... Perhaps it would have worked better with a more vintage-feeling backround?
