My latest restoration project - an early 1900´s ADLER Class III leather sewing machine.

This seems to be the forerunner of the Adler Class 4.

Yet, NOTHING is working but I´l give this old Lady some TLC and see if she will work again...

I just wanted to share these pictures since they do not show up often.

After oiling and some cleaning I opened the housing (just 3 screws) - what a nice simple design! :)

Meanwhile I can turn the hand wheel and parts are moving but no sewing yet.

HI, yes these are great machines, I have three, two labelled Atlas and one Drossner, however they also come as Claes and Adler. .... lots and lots of badging back then. They were the leather workers main machine in Germany and France and take quite a long needle and sew up to about 15mm.

Just like today. :spoton:

Any chance you know where to get the needles? A few are included but they are old so I don´t know if the last when I start using the machine.

I have a good number of needles in various sizes, however really need them for my own machines. I'd try the German needle makers, they may still do them... there are a lot of these machines out there. Something like Schmetz.

Thanks but I´m about getting a copy of the original manual but haven´t received it yet. So I hope it will answer all my questions. In case I don´t get it I will email you. Thanks again!

I just emailed SCHMETZ because of the needles, they don´t have / make them anymore but their Product Manager emailed me back and said I should call him tomorrow... I wonder what else he can tell me... :)

You are welcome!

I hope I can bring the machine back to life.
