Can somebody ID this machine please ... No. 2.

I also saw this machine recently, but the lighting was poor, and I could only get 1 pic of the near side. Does anybody have any details of this machine please?

I think they were named the "Patent Elastik" and they were made in Germany if i can remember. And there was another one called "Colibri" i think?? regards jimi.

Thank you @jimi

I agree with Jimi that it's one of the late 19th century patcher/elastic machines. The pinstriping on the balance wheel looks very similar to that on my BUSM #6 and several similar machines I've seen pictures of so I'd make a semi-educated guess that it's from that stable but I can't find a match in the electronic copy of their catalogue. I'll check my paper catalogue (different edition) tomorrow when I get back from the market.

That is a 19th century shoepatcher.  As to the model, Could be early Claes or a Patent Elastic.  I do not recognize the pinstriping on the balance wheel.  Any more pics?

Checked my paper BUSM catalogue and there's no patcher/elastic machines in that edition either.

Here's a photo of the pinstriping on the wheel of my BUSM #6. There's a definite resemblance I think. Whether that means the patcher is a BUSM manufactured machine, a bought-in/rebadged machine sold by BUSM, a Pearson machine (the predecessors to BUSM) or someone just imitating the BUSM style of pinstriping.
