What is your machine? I've seen the pic before, but don't recognize the machine. Joe
It is a Anker/Hengsenberg Westfalia. It is a Hengstenberg B high arm machine from the late 1890's with the Heinrich Wittler shuttle system
Basically it is a VS machine setup like a TS with a CRAZY short throw.

It was advertised on CL for $75 as a "Old Singer Handcrank" with a fuzzy picture.
