I found this on Ebay in the UK, the listing is archived for posterity here - http://archive.is/AVEPt

I have no connection to the seller and no experience of them but it's such an unusual machine I thought people would like to see it. I'm not buying it either.

The end of the bed and the pillar look like a 45k, but the rest...

Thanks Neil,

That is a helluva machine. I'm guessing that it was built to sew the bottoms onto golf bags.

Very interesting machine! That looks like a really loooooong extension of the original design, whatever it was. The U-channel welded on top of the head for reinforcement suggests wicked lever forces are at play.

That welded custom table stand is very nicely done, I think.

I would guess this machine was built by Adler. There are a few details I only know from Adler 105 type machines.
