Wilhelmina ca 1918

Wilhelmina sewing machine

This is a “Wilhelmina” branded sewing machine with a picture of the Dutch queen Wilhelmina who reigned from 1898 to 1948. This shows a young Wilhelmina, so it could be this machine was decorated to commemorate some anniversary, perhaps in 1918 or 1923 or even her coronation in 1898. The decorations look similar to the machines manufactured by Durkopp.
