It's actually a treadle machine. Won't let me upload the pic of base. Says its to big.

You can crop, reduce the image dimensions and file size, as well as sharpen the reduced image, with the free FastStone Photo Resizer.

  1. Load image for editing
  2. Crop to remove unnecessary details
  3. Resize (reduce) dimensions to something suitable for a web page (e.g., 400x600, 600x800)
  4. If reducing the size dulls the sharpness, check the box to sharpen (set to 15%) on the adjustments tab page.
  5. If you still need more reduction, use the Settings slider on the right side of the Output Format selection on the main page to reduce the quality of the jpg. I find 75% quality is virtually unnoticeable on web page size images.

I saw some post on the Bauer machine on here from Nov 2017. I guess they are kind of rare. Saw the pic of the 1909 one. Looks just like mine, down to the gold pin stripping. I may not be missing parts after all. I can make extra bobbins myself and have new shuttle boat/s made at a friends machine shop if need to. Have a few leeds on needles. Once I get solid info on them, I will pass that info to the few others who have these beasts.

Reddturtle,

Do you bet on long shots?

Here's one - several months ago I attended a leather show in Jeffersonville, Indiana, home of the former Bauer Sewing Machine Co., and happened to meet Mr. Greg Sartor, President of Silver Creek Leather Company, 812) 945-8520, https://www.realeather.com/about.  Silver Creek has been in business in Jeffersonville, In. since 2002.  I'm thinking Mr. Sartor might have some information on the Bauer Company or a lead or two for you to pursue.  Good luck.
