@shoepatcher Thanks Glenn. Was the 1877 Singer new and unique design known as the UFA?

@Tastech Thanks for that, yes that is a great machine and very much like the ones pictured in my comment. I am really interested to learn who created the design for that type of machine and when

I am late to the party and perhaps this information is well known and documented so I apologize in advance for asking. Do we know who is the original designer / maker of the Patent Elastique machine and what year it was created? I have read the whole of the "Mystery Machine" thread with all of the great information there, and @shoepatcher thread gathering any and all makers. I apologize if I have missed a definitive statement of the origin of this machine type design and creator. The machine pictured below shows faint lettering ANKER and is posted here as an example of the type of machine I am asking about. Many thanks in advance for your consideration and information. @Constabulary @Uwe @Harfindel @mikesc @HatoriKun @Et Al

We recently pickup up this fabulous machine. After reading posts here on the group it appears to be a Wheeler and Wilson version from 1938 or earlier with crank drive, not a belt. The machine has no serial number visible, only an interesting stamped symbol under the top cover. Looking for a manual for this machine as we slowly clean, lube and bring it back to life!

Did we ever find a manual for the 51W28, the Wheeler and Wilson version of this machine
