jseward20 Report post Posted October 8, 2015 An old freind of mine found a beautiful antique elastic leather repair machine, and he really wants to get it back into operating condition. Problem is we have no idea what kind of machine this is. I cant find alot of information on the machine but will be having a better look at it tonight. I would like to know who manufactured this machine and if there is any availability on parts. Maybe model #, year, maker, anything to help with my search. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AcornBiter Report post Posted October 8, 2015 Pretty sure it is a sewing machine. If you push that pedal back and forth at the bottom the stitching needle (if there was one) will go up and down. There is also a post to the right side where the spool of thread sits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ETW Grumpy Report post Posted October 8, 2015 It looks kind of like this one to me. I found it here: http://www.sewalot.com/bradbury_sewing_machines.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oltoot Report post Posted October 9, 2015 very nice old patch machine, Singer 29 series is modern equivalent. They have changed little from the days of 1862 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Logans Leather Report post Posted October 16, 2015 Definitely a patch machine. Looks like a Bradbury to me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wyvern Wings Report post Posted October 23, 2015 Could be a Dürkopp. Or a Martin Decker Mannheim similar to the one in the picture, only an earlier model (heavier ornaments). There were also some patchers around 1900 marked "Patent Elastic" or "Patent Elastique" that look very similar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
