I need help in identifying

Recommended Posts

Hi! As i was rummiging around in an old warehouse, I came up on this interesting peice of j-nk??!! Or as I hope, I stumbled upon treasure!! Can anyone tell me if this is something to do with leather sewing, and if so, what I might get it to do for me?? There were manufactoring info on the side wich said: Vilh. Pedersen, Hong, Nodel no. 308 Danmark. If you can possibly tell me anything to get it to work, I´be gratefull.( the last 3 picks)

I also use a Durkoff in sewing straps, and I took a picture of it. Since I´v just gotten it, I cant figure out the lubrication system. I´d also like to know, how large needels and string i can sew with it.(the first 2 picks) Thankfull for any replies!! O´o, the first pickture didnt appear.. I´ll see if I can fix that.

Your machine is a Junker un Ruh.

It is a Pederson sole stitcher. Good for sewing along edges of knife pouches and the like as well as soles. The material moves sideways with each pull of the handle.

Here is a great video of your machine in action. Looks like a winner!

Proper Spelling:

Junker und Ruh

Junker u. Ruh

Junker & Ruh

The lever operated Junker und Ruh Model SD28 leather stitcher was made in Karlsruhe, Germany, probably in the '30s or '40s and was used in the shoe repair trade. Not easy to find needles for them.

Leffler in Melbourne, Australia stock the needles if they can't be found elsewhere.

I would actually go to Melbourne to pick them up. It is one of the beautiful places in Oz. Really a diverse town.

Katarina,

The machine you have is Pedersen. It is a copy of the Junker & Ruh and was made by Pedersen until sometime in the 1960's or even later. The parts are the same as the Junker & Ruh which was discontinued during WWII sometime. I can sell you needles if interested and very shortly will also have bobbins and shuttles available for this machine.

I am also the one who made the little youtube video:

I did it so people could understand how the machine functions and see it in action because they are pretty rare over here in North America.

Thanks,

Hi,

I just purchased a Junker & Ruh (SK) states it is made in Germany but this is an insole stitcher I believe as it has the horn on it. I have been looking online for more information and can't seem to find anything more than it was possibly made in Karlsruh, Durlach Baden, Germany. Would you happen to know about this machine or where I might find out more about it. I reside in Windsor Ontario and purchased this just recently in Kitchner. thanks

Hi Peggy,

You are right, it is an insole stitcher. It is very rare but I have a couple myself that I bought in Europe. I don't know anything more about them than what you have discovered yourself unfortunately. If you do manage to dig up any other info please let me know.

Thanks,

Henry (in Toronto by the way).

No, it's a lockstitch machine with a shuttle.

From the enquiries for needles on this forum, I think you will be very popular with owners of sd28 if you are getting the needles made
