Members jimi Posted April 25, 2020 Members Report Posted April 25, 2020 This one is for all you Singer freaks that have a spare €1000 and who live in France or near by. You do not see many of these on sale as many Leather/Fabric shops or larger factory´s from way back are long gone and closed. This seems to have survived intact with main shaft and clutches! I have to admit if i had the space or a shop that would be in it!!!! Drool on..... And here are a couple of older machines...... This set up looks like it was for pamphlet sewing, it needs a couple of parts by the looks of it?? no more detailed pictures i am afraid, but it looks like a Singer 45k50.(flat bed version of the 45k52) So that means it could be very old but looks like it is in excellent condition by looking at all of the original decals still intact.It has the driving attachment on it. Parts must be pretty rare for this one....Once again...in France. And here is one more from here in Spain... Not very common at all the 45k33 was obsolete possibly around the very early 1900´s (1905-7??) superseeded by the 45k58, as was the cylinder bed version, the 45k31 obsolete and superseeded by the 45k56, Looks like the Adler 104 (105 being the 45k31) or should i say the 104 looks like the 45k33? well Adler seems to have started with Koch in the 1920,s and this class had been obsolete and superseeded by Singer 20 yrs before???

Members Constabulary Posted April 25, 2020 Members Report Posted April 25, 2020 ouh - sweet (I´m missing the drooling smiley here). Certain people probably would kill for these tables Unfortunately an overkill for me - spacewise. In the City of Bielefeld (Home of Dürkopp-Adler) is a complete factory (now a museum) who have similar tables (but Baer & Rempel made) and it is still fully set up with machines and all that other stuff. Not sure if I ever have shown the picture - here are just a few...

Members Constabulary Posted April 25, 2020 Members Report Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) BTW - I have a stand like in the picture with the 1st 45K machine - this sooner or later will be set up as my kitchen table. The plate I finished approx 1yr ago but still haven´t it fully set up --- will be my next project to finish (I hope) Preview - pictures from approx 1 yr ago Edited April 25, 2020 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
Members jimi Posted April 25, 2020 Author Members Report Posted April 25, 2020 Nice pictures Folker, Yes, looks very similar to the Singer ones, there were a few types i think. They would be good for the Singer museum maybe?? The only thing missing from the Durkopp setup in the museum is the original stools?? Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted April 25, 2020 Members Report Posted April 25, 2020 Wow. Great pics thanks Folker and thanks jimi for starting the thread with the pics of the table in France. Quote
Members dikman Posted April 25, 2020 Members Report Posted April 25, 2020 Your last photo shows how the table was used, good stuff, I couldn't quite work it out from the first one. There's something nice about those old cast iron table supports. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members Bert51 Posted April 25, 2020 Members Report Posted April 25, 2020 Wow, great photos, I hate to work like they did, I say that's where they got the term "Sweat Shop" from. Would I be wrong thinking, most of those machines and tables would have gone straight to scrap? Bert. Quote
Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted April 26, 2020 Members Report Posted April 26, 2020 Lovely machines, lovely tables. Was that a 45 made in Kilbowie, Scotland machine there? Quote “Equality?
