Hi I talked to Eli today over at Landis Machine Co was making sure he received a check that I sent him for a part for my Landis 16. I am posting this on here for Eli. He said he has two Landis 16 for sale he went through these machines and they are ready to sew and he is selling them for one of his customers. I told him to send me the photos and I would post them on here for him. Eli is a really good guy and one of the only people that has parts and can fix these old Landis 16. I sent him my Landis 16 and she is sewing a beautiful stitch. Give him a call if you are interested. The one machine is $1,800.00 and the other is $2,400.00. Here is Eli contact info. I was not sure where to post this one. Landis Machine Co 6373 Country Road 400 N. McLeansboro IL 62859 for pickup. Phone # 217-543-3464

Very Nice....

I just got a hide and 3 12oz bellies from Wickett & Craig. The bellies were on sale $5 so I got 3 of them. I like making these hard bags for Harleys and the ladies purses. The old Landis 16 really sews a very nice tight stitch. I have a booth in Down Town Georgetown SC where I sell ladies purses and tote bags. These came out ok..

I just got a hide in from Wicked & Craig Natural Skirting 8 to 10oz. I made these similar to my gun belts a little thinner. One piece is 8 to 10 oz and I skived down one about 5oz. They are a little under a 1/4". The old Landis 16 is sewing really nice. Thanks'

Thank You

Not sure how they are I used but they wanted me to make these for them. They are for their ARs. Thanks

Finished up these Leather Single Point Slings for a couple of good friends. They wanted these for their ARs. The old girl is sewing really nice.

Very Nice..

Those are Chicago Screws the work out very nice.

Finished up a couple of gun belts for some really good friends. The old Landis 16 is sewing a beautiful tight stitch. Old Eli over at Landis Machine Co replaced a few parts and dialed the girl in.

I really love the old Harleys, Would love to have an old 1947 Knuckle Head. I told my good friends this old 1951 Landis 16 is my Knuckle Head lol.

Yes it did on the larger leather pieces it works out nice. The tote bags I use a 5 to 6oz and the leather that is soft or milled and this helps out. Its a game changer with this machine..

Very Nice...

I got the old girl sewing like a champ. I had a CB4500 but really wanted a Landis 16 needle and awl machine. Eli really dialed her in I called him to get some pointers on how to sew with this machine. Still learning but this machine really sews a beautiful stitch on both sides of the leather. I us the machine for the sides and corners of my tote bags the leather is 5 to 6 OZ. The little Consew 206RB-5 I bought from Bob over at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines and the CB4500 I sold that to a saddle maker in the Columbia SC area. I use the Consew for the Marine Canvas and boat upholstery work. I have a booth at the Cottage in Georgetown SC for all my leather works make a lot of ladies purses. I needed another heavy leather stitcher for my leather work. I just love these old machines..

I picked up this machine in Dillsburg PA from Joey Sewing Machine needed to be cleaned up but was a really good deal. I contacted Eli over at Landis Machine Co for a few parts a brass shuttle I sent him the old one and he sent a working one. Had it sewing but there was an issue of it breaking the thread. I sent the machine to Eli and he had to replace a few parts inside the machine it sews like a champ very tight stitch I love this old machine. I picked up the machine last Friday and over the weekend had the wife help me install the head. Eli has a whole shop full of old Landis 16 and other very cool old industrial sewing machines. Eli is a very cool old man 82 and still working on these big machines. It was so cool to meet him and see his shop. I have photos of the old machines I will post later. I live in Georgetown SC..
