OK, I went after that sole stitcher It has quite a history surrounding it.

The old boy I got it from is a WWII vet going into assisted living.

30 some odd years ago he got it from a farmer that had the head in the grainery and the

treadle stand he rescued off the rock pile out by the field.

The table top was de-laminated pretty badly so he used it as a pattern to make a new one from plywood.

The old boy that had it in his grainery said it was his Grandpa's. His grandpa used it to repair harness tugs

for himself and the neighbors in the area west of Fargo, ND. That had to be a few years ago.

The story bears true as there is a modified flat plate and foot in a bag of trinkets that came with it; along with

the original tapered plate and sole foot on the machine.

You can't see it in the pics but the feed dogs are tapered to the left; apparently to keep the shoe

or boot from feeding into the needle. This arrangement makes it very difficult to stitch in a straight line with this machine.

The manual bobbin winder is interesting.

Anyway here are a few pics.

It wouldn't take much to get me toe sell this machine. I don't particularly need a soling machine; although it stitches pretty good.

It needs some fine tuning is all.

Interesting thing about this machine is it had a wax pot on it that has a gas burner under it.

If you look in the pictures it is the pot behind the bobbin winder.

The hand crank bobbin winder & this gas powered wax pot are connected to the same bracket.

You can see it pretty well in the2nd, 3rd & 4th pictures above. I'll have to flip the winder upside down

& get a pic. of that burner so you'se can see it.

Oh man, now I really want it! Problem is I live in New Zealand, so getting it here would cost a fortune :(
