Kate Report post Posted February 15, 2012 I am selling my wonderful old Landis stitcher. Loads of photos on the web page linked here. I've had this machine for over a decade, it runs well, makes a great tight beautiful stitch. Including a bunch of needles, two shuttles, bushings, bobbins, a few oddball spares, COMPLETE original operator's manual, and the bobbin winding machine. Will throw in big roll of heavy thread with it - this machine was set up to not need to change the foot to change stitch length (toe ground off - makes it easier to see what you are doing, too), and the wax boiler was removed (before I met it) so as to run modern threads. I have the stand set up on heavy casters so I can move it around my shop - but I'm out of space and not using it that much any longer, doing lighter work. I can crate the head and smalls and palletize the stand for shipping, but would prefer pick up - it's big, and heavy. I am located in NW Washington state, north of Seattle and east of Everett, close to US Hwy 2. Asking $950 plus shipping (I have $1200 in it before I shipped it from FLORIDA to me) - might consider trading for equal value bench machinery? PM with ideas, please.

I just sold my old Landis the other day, for 400.00 and the guy drove 3 hrs. down to get it. Your machine is much much nicer than mine was. I wish you good luck with the sale.. I put my $$ towards my new Cobra 4 I have setting behind me. GOOD LUCK Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Report post Posted February 16, 2012 Hi Kate.... I just sold my old Landis the other day, for 400.00 and the guy drove 3 hrs. down to get it. Your machine is much much nicer than mine was. I wish you good luck with the sale.. I put my $ towards my new Cobra 4 I have setting behind me. GOOD LUCK Mike Hey Mike! Glad to hear you got something out of your Landis. You should be happy with your new Cobra - I'm kinda kicking myself for not getting the longer arm on mine (I have the Cobra class 3) as I did a rifle boot the other day and REALLY wanted more deck space On the whole, though, for 95% of my work, the Class 3 is making me pretty happy. I keep it set up for medium to light weight work and just use the Landis for BIG stuff - but my shop is so packed now I can hardly turn around so I'd really love to find MISTER Landis a new home. Here's to happy stitching! Kate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Singermania Report post Posted March 30, 2013 HI, I know I'm very late in answering your ad, however I wondered if you still had the old Landis??? Regards Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Logans Leather Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Kate, What bench machinery are you interested in? I have quite a bit of it with a few repeats that I am certainly willing to let go, including an American crank skiver. Let me know what you want and I will see what I have. What is the maximum thickness this machine can sew? Regards, Logan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Report post Posted June 25, 2013 HI, I know I'm very late in answering your ad, however I wondered if you still had the old Landis??? Regards Steve As of today, June 25, 2013, yes, the Landis is still here. I get a few requests now and then - mostly trying to beat me down on price. After they find out that it costs actual money to ship a palletized machine across the country they just fade away. If you are interested, my bottom dollar is $950 PLUS SHIPPING for the whole lot - all the spares, the bobbin winder and manual, etc. I wil not charge anything to palletize this machine for shipment - that right there is a significant outlay for materials and work. I am getting quotes in the $280=$400 neighbohood, depending on how far across the country you are from my NW Washington State location. Thanks for your interest, sorry I did not pick this up sooner.

Kate Report post Posted June 25, 2013 Logan, I am not super interested in the skiver - Had one, been there and sold that. Would really prefer to sell the Landis outright, though, as my finances are pretty tough right now. THanks for your intereest, Kate Kate, What bench machinery are you interested in?

Kate Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Steve, it's a Landis #1, not a Landis 3 - but thanks for buying it anyhow! I'm sure that you will enjoy this great old machine. MISTER Landis still pulls a fine tight stitch in heavy skirting leather, hard to beat the quality. I appreciate your interest - and folks, to everyone else, THE LANDIS #1 IS SOLD!!! If you still have the Landis 3 I would like it. I live in North Bend and can come get it this weekend.
