shoepatcher Report post Posted September 4, 2015 C, We need more pics of the machine and some close ups shots!! glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Still I have no clue, the picture will not give enough detail either. Anyway, never seen this fine machine before. Where did you find it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted September 4, 2015 This is the closest I have It´s not my machine - it is but quite far away from me so w/o knowing anything about it I don´t take the pain - but it´s an interesting one anyway. Tag says DVSG so it is for the shoe industries but I would assume it is BUSMC made - just a feeling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machinehead Report post Posted September 4, 2015 It looks to be a folder / gluing machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Looks German to me,you got to have some faith in your own people:) To take a wild guess, I would say it's made somewhere behind the iron curtain. East German perhaps. But it's really not my cup of tea. It's just my feelings. It's good looking, that's for sure. Does it sew? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) A shoe lasting machine perhaps? Looks like this perforating machine http://www.sieck.de/en/machines/shoe-manufacturing/diverse-machines/details/1720/ Edited September 4, 2015 by Trox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted September 4, 2015 DVSG was located in Frankfurt / Main (West Germany). But my DVSG #6 HM (or Pearson / BUSMC #6 HM) sewing machine was made @ IVI Metallics in Great Britain - at least all parts have the IVI markings. AFAIK DVSG and BUSMC belonged together at some point of their history so thats why I assume it could also be a BUSMC made machine. This strange machine is in the far West of Germany so for sure nothing from behind the iron curtain. Not even sure if it is a sewing machine at all... If it was closer to me I´d take a look at it but traveling 500Km one way w/o knowing anything about it is a waste of time and money I´d say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted September 4, 2015 You can see that it is from the same company. I cannot see a needle or an awl. It might do something else in production of the shoe. Not that I know anything about the shoe production, they have a lot of fancy machines. That's for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll think you do a pretty good job finding strange interesting machines. Keep looking, eventionally they have to turn up on the marked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Constabulary Report post Posted September 4, 2015 http://www.google.com/patents/US3167452 Why the hell do you know where to look for it - I hate you for that ***just kidding** Thanks a lot for your help!!!! Would have been a boat anchor for me but the machine is dirt cheap but I have no use for it. Tanks again Machinehead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machinehead Report post Posted September 4, 2015 I have one in my shop. Will need some work to operate. A project for another day. You are entirely welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Seriously? What exactly are you doing with it? I just cant "think around the corner" in this case - shoe making is too far away for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machinehead Report post Posted September 4, 2015 I acquired this machine during the purchase of several others. It was set up on a new table with one of the smoothest operating clutch motors that I have ever used. I set my Singer 153 K 103 up on the table after I set the folding machine off to the side so it was more like buy the table and motor and get the folding/gluing machine for next to nothing. The gluing machine suffers from someone not cleaning the glue out after it was last used. Other than that the machine seems complete and the heater to melt the glue works. It would be a good machine to do a big production run of glued and folded edges on small leather goods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
