Hi Bob, Do you happen to know what the maximum size thread for a Puritan might be? Using the largest needle/awl combo. I have just picked up a high post single needle model. It seems to stitch alright with thin thread but that doesn't really suit my purposes - uppers on heavy leather boots in conjunction with my Cowboy Outlaw.

Hello all. I've picked up an old Keats & Bexon outsole stitcher. As of yet I have not been able to locate much information other than that it was made from the late 1800s through early 1900s. I have yet to thread it correctly before I can try it out. Hoping someone here may be familiar with the machine or potentially have access to a user manual of some kind. My intended use is for producing heavy work boots. Nicks have declared me impossible to fit (seemed harsh, but I've always wanted to make my own... so here we go). I will upload pictures when able.
