Members plinkercases Posted July 7, 2019 Members Report Posted July 7, 2019 Stumbled onto a woman selling her husbands cobbler shop equipment in Hudson Bay Sask... and stumbled onto her daughters construction and shipping company... the coincidences led to this old beauty being crated shipped and now in my shed awaiting a good clean... and it is complete head with wax box and accessory box on the back side... 2 shuttles 4 bobbins loads if original needles... and complete stand... AND bobbin winder!!!!!... serial number puts it circa 1915 and agency marking on the wheel indicates made for Canadian Market. Gentlemen actually waxed all the time and the entire machine and winder is waxed... so not rusted! I have a good friend with a vapour blasting set up for engines... total degrease/grime and zero dimensional change... so that is where this baby is headed... complete tear down and clean... someday... for now safe and secure.

Members Constabulary Posted December 7, 2019 Members Report Posted December 7, 2019 Excellent machines - you will love it! I really loved mine too but I had no work for it so I have sold it with a tear in my eye. And it is really a beast and it took a lot of space. I put it on heavy casters because and I needed it moveable due to space issues.
