Lol, sorry Mjolnir.  A Sight Feed spotter is an old single shot spotting machine from the early 1900's.  The name something or other "Smith" is cast on one side of the head, and "Sight Feed" on the other, but within the trade they are commonly known as as "Sight Feed" spotters.  A Landis 3 is a wonderful old needle and awl stitcher, patterned somewhat after the Campbell and Randall machines.  I can also see the wheel of what appears to be a hand bobbin winder for possible the Landis 3 or the Pearson #6.

Give the person a cigar.....     Yes, there is a landis three, in the background, a spot machine, a landis three bobbin winder as well as a pearson bobbin winder. Puritan machines are chain stitch machines,have a couple..... I use them on some things i make...... The one has a three foot post on it. I can stitch deep things when i need..  Ie: golf bags, hat boxes...

Great layout to your shop. Plenty of room to work in.

Stitching clam, haven’t seen one like it before. Did you make it?

Thanks!

The clam is an antique I picked up 2 years ago. Has a cool "cam" lever on the side for opening and closing. Works very well for its age! Has a hole in the bottom- I suspect it was mounted on a "horse" sometime earlier in its history. I have only seen one other for sale over the years....I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough this time.

Fantastic showing by all! Also a very humbling experience LOL! I don't think I've ever seen so many leather stitching machines! I'm going to have to clean up my work area and show more current pictures! I like to keep everything at arms length reach as well next on my list of things is a roller stool, I don't think I'll ever have one of those super fancy sewing machines though so I've fabricated a couple of sewing clamps which I'll show as well.
