Members DanishMan Posted October 31, 2018 Members Report Posted October 31, 2018 I just came across a barn find in Denmark. A man had collected sewing machines for many years and placed them in a barn. I managed to get three Pfaff 145 and one Pfaff 195. Two of them in reasonable condition. In total there were around 50 old sewing machines. I am not sure about rarity, but there may be some good pieces among the scrap. Best regards Danish Man Quote
Members Constabulary Posted October 31, 2018 Members Report Posted October 31, 2018 A few pictures would be nice - if he has a Singer 97 or probably other nice vintage Singers I would make a trip to Denmark. I haven´t been to Denmark yet so....

Members jimi Posted October 31, 2018 Members Report Posted October 31, 2018 Nice find, now you have some spares if the good one breaks down. Like Folker said, did you get any pictures? Quote
Members DanishMan Posted October 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 31, 2018 Here are a couple of photos - there were around 40-50 sewing machines (mostly industrial) and around 15 three phase clutch motors. It is a young couple who bought a farm house, which was filled with scrap. Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted October 31, 2018 Members Report Posted October 31, 2018 Wow. Would love a find like that near me. 3 Pfaff 145's what a score, along with the other items you got. Quote
Members DanishMan Posted October 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 31, 2018 The poor guy just wanted to get rid of some of the stuff. I tell you - it was madness. Quote
Members DanishMan Posted October 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 31, 2018 I recall seing old black leather machine with walking foot - Pfaff or Singer and very old. Does that ring a bell for anyone here? Best regards Danish Man Quote

Members DanishMan Posted November 1, 2018 Author Members Report Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Hi Wizcraft. I think you are right. I saw it in the barn as well - very dirty. Difficult to see the condition. Best regards Søren Edited November 1, 2018 by DanishMan Quote

Members DanishMan Posted November 3, 2018 Author Members Report Posted November 3, 2018 I will actually go and salvage som more sewing machines on Tuesday. Hopefully get 6-7 more machines. Mostly 145's and possibly a two needle 545. I will also look for Singers, but I did not see many on the first trip. Best regards Danish Man Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted November 4, 2018 Members Report Posted November 4, 2018 Wow that's a lot of 145"s. Quote
