have an old patch machine that has politype on the treadle.. the head has a faded label that I think reads R. neumann & Co. appears that the machine will sew but was looking for any info that as to the history. been sitting in this basement for at least 60 years that i'm aware of. thanks

Politype shoepatchers were made in Germany.  I have one myself.

probably won't get a chance to post pics for a few days. even though it has R Neumann & Co painted on the head, it appears to be politype # 3 patcher. been stored in this house for a long time, it came with the house and it used to sew. needs a good going over. seems tight is only missing some tension disks above the needle bar

looks like an early Dürkopp 17 - kind of.

Yep,  I agree with Constabulary.  That is a Durkopp 17- class.  The length of arm will tell us one thing on the subclass, the hook and bobbin the other info on subclass.  Can we see more pictures?

You realize it has been more than 2 years awaiting for the pics!!  I hope the next pics come quicker.  Neumann probably contracted with Politype or Durkopp for this machine.  Private labeling.
