Sylvia Report post Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) How much of a discount on my machine will you give me if I can find info on this? LOL It looks like one that was made in 1871. See photo about here. http://www.ismacs.ne...s_machines.html Here is more info Tom. The stand seems to be something rather special I've not found anything on that yet. http://www.sewmuse.c...adburyindex.htm Here's a link for a manual $17. http://www.tias.com/...1922494788.html And here's a quicky on how to thread and oil. http://website.lineone.net/~bradbury1852/a1repairerthreading.htm Edited August 4, 2012 by Sylvia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mokosh Report post Posted August 4, 2012 That's a thing of beauty. I have the Singer 29-4 which is a pretty similar machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machinehead Report post Posted August 4, 2012 The base looks like a Hengstenberg made in Germany. This company later was renamed the Bielefeld Sewing Machine Co I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer Report post Posted August 4, 2012 I have had a machine, a spitting image of your machine, and it was labeled "Universal Majestic". Also I have seen your machine labeled Sackmann and Husqvarna here in Sweden. I think they were made i Germany? Fwiw/ Knut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted August 8, 2012 This design of machine is so good that the Chinese still make it in a smaller form, although not made well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Dannie Report post Posted March 22, 2013 I got the Chinese one, sells for about $45, shipped. Problem is, you have to buy a minimum of 10 machines. I bought mine from a reseller for $130. It works, but not very elegantly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted March 23, 2013 The Chinese version can be made to work well with a bit of tinkering but it will never match the quality of the original as it is built to a price.I sell hundreds of the Chinese machine but I also have a Wertheim that shows them up for what they are. Keep in mind that the Chinese have trouble making a proper copy of the 29k72 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
