To the brits : Adamson pedal identification

[Tigweldor]

Hi,

I recently aquired a pedal to use it for foot lift on my Adler 5-8 through our German Craigs list - the seller could tell me nothing other that it was found in the attic.

Is is nicely cast from (for?) a company named Adamson, in Leeds - works like a charm and is made pretty solid.

Cast markings are BSO and 42 - the year 1942 could match - was BSO a foundry ? Does it stand for Button Sew On ?

I searched the net, but all I came up with was a pic of a button sewing-on machine : https://www.abebooks.co.uk/Adamson-Button-Sewing-On-Machine-Styles-135142/4008403843/bd#&gid=1&pid=1

 

There is one on ebay as well - it does not have same pedal but definitely the same company logo (writing) : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175833083383?

Does anybody know if Adamson made any other sewing machines ?

Any info appreciated, cause i had never heard of them before.

 

Greetings

Hans

@Tigweldor,  I don't have any answers for you but that is one sweet pedal!  I think it'll look great on your machine!  JM2C, Jim

Well, who ever gives an answer, can get the link to this compound walking foot machine (Singer 211 ?) for small coin for free :

Well, while browsing on this here web site in articles posted long time ago (nigh on 10 years) - I found a 143 page needle chart that Con had uploaded.

And guess what - the first company on the list was Adamson - and they do list the BSO models as well, so it the same company.

Unfortunately I could not find any models on Ebay.UK other than the Button Sew On machines.
