Moderator Wizcrafts Posted February 14, 2018 Moderator Report Posted February 14, 2018 1 hour ago, Joseph1836 said: What is it, and how much $ ? The machine is a chainstitch post machine using a needle and awl system with a jump foot. It is used to sew golf bags, rifle bags and similar objects. It should not be used where the bottom thread is visible or exposed to chafing. Because it produces a looped chainstitch, there is no bobbin used. The chain needs to be secured by sewing across it, or by using wax on the thread to lock the thread in place. Most companies using these run either hot or liquid wax in the waxpot. It works best with linen thread, preferably, Barbour's Irish linen thread (over $50 a pound).

Members dacorkery67 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 23, 2018 Here are updated pictures of the Puritan OS36 (or OS54) for sale. (I'm not sure exactly which one it is but can provide measurements.) It's a 1 or 2 needle floor model. It's Puritan Number 501, so it's vintage. The machine has been completely gone through mechanically and electrically and works great. I can send a video. If you've wanted to own a Puritan, this is a great opportunity. It has a modern 1/2hp motor and a brand new belt. The on/off box and light work as intended. The wax container, three bobbin holder tray and tree, and coiled thread feeders are all intact. Local pickup in southeastern Massachusetts or free delivery within 50 miles of zip 02364. I will also crate at no charge and ship via a freight carrier of customer's choice, either prepaid or collect payment by purchaser. I have numerous needles, guides. feet, etc. that can be added to an agreement. I will provide a list upon request. $500 OBO, any reasonable offer considered, Freight extra.

Members Ironredskin Posted February 1, 2021 Members Report Posted February 1, 2021 Has this machine been sold? If not, I would be interested in it or if someone else has a Puritan chain stitcher for sale and are willing to ship to Florida. Thanks a lot
