Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted February 21, 2012 As well as being a dealer I collect machines and over the last couple of days have added the absolute extremes to the stash. Monday saw me trade an ABLE290 patcher for a tiny industrial chain stitch milliners machine which could possibly sew the lightest of leathers. It weighs about 2kg (5lb) and is a work of art. At this stage I have not had a chance to do any research on it but I am almost certain it is German and between 80 and 120 years old. This one stays in the collection. Today I traded two of my patchers for three machines with the largest being a Pederson Thor - Landis 12. I don't want to know what this weighs but it is a goer and after a clean and service will go on the market. Of the other machines one is a door stop of an old transverse shuttle high arm German machine (it came out of a burnt out house) and the other is a transverse shuttle Wertheim industrial treadle which will be a goer with a little TLC. Another great find on the trip was a hand crank bobbin winder for a Singer 7-5. This is the first one I have ever seen! I will post some pictures tomorrow of a box of bits which I cannot identify. The needles look like they are out of some sort of embellisher and have odd little guides and a number of very odd parts that seem to go together. The bobbins are over an inch round and wide. Apart from the new toys I sold 18 of the patchers and repaired two 45k cylinder bed machines by the simple expedient of replacing the feed dogs with new ones as the old ones were worn right down.

Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted February 23, 2012 Going to have to wait until next week as I am running out of time. I put in an allnighter to get machines ready for an event that starts tomorrow (350km away) and the body is telling me that it is time to sleep!

Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted February 26, 2012 45k58 arrives tomorrow! Also picked up a 306M set up as a light industrial - this machine is for my business partner and will be set up on a treadle. Also have an option to buy both a 7-33 and a frobana at reasonable prices. I get home tomorrow and will take the camera to the shop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
