Members Cferna27 Posted July 29, 2019 Members Report Posted July 29, 2019 Hi again, so I just picked up this old machine this week end and it has no manufacturer marks on it? Looked briefly in the net but did not find any info. on it? Can someone please help me in identifying this one? Thanks again, C. Quote

No, it's neither a Randall, nor a Campbell, nor a Union Lockstitch. It doesn't look like a Puritan either.

Members Cferna27 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 31, 2019 Yup, its a mystery. The access cover is missing and the thread "swing arm" that sweeps the line to create the stitch is broken. The machine functions great and the internal gears are not corroded at all. Its a compact and it looks like it can saw a 1/2 inch thick leather as well? There is a ( gold or copper ish ) patina coat under the black paint? Usually when this coat is present, the machine is a bit on the old side? Thanks again every one. Carlos Quote
Members Matt S Posted July 31, 2019 Members Report Posted July 31, 2019 It does ring a bell with an obscure harness machine, but I can't recall what it was. I wonder if @Big Sioux Saddlery might recognise it? Quote

I wonder if @Big Sioux Saddlery might recognise it? I looked at this last night and I admit I'm stumped. The top end looks like similar to a stripped down Campbell/Randall, but the bottom I don't recognize. More views might be helpful. Also, if there are any markings or part numbers on it anywhere, it might help someone identify it. Quote

Members Cferna27 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 31, 2019 Will update with more pics tonight, and i think I did saw a serial number at the top, so I will get back with everyone ASAP. Thanks again, Carlos Quote

I was thinking of a Bauer, but now I see the lower casting is quite different and the wheel is in the wrong place. Almost reminds me of a Dohle 715, but again not. It's a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in cast iron. Do we know for certain if it's a lock-stitch or chain-stitch? Quote
