Members trash treasure Posted September 22, 2018 Members Report Posted September 22, 2018 As long as we're on the subject of monster sewing machines, I thought to post this one - I found this photo a while ago, and have no idea what the machine is/was for, except that it's BIG, and it's obviously just an "art object", now ....

Members jimi Posted September 22, 2018 Members Report Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) This was made by Gabriel Beyroux and probably would have been used for sailmaking. This is another of his machines. https://www.letelegramme.fr/finistere/concarneau/tresors-du-musee-2-de-la-couture-avec-la-comtesse-21-12-2014-10470249.php. Edited September 22, 2018 by jimi Quote
