The wheel locks would be a great idea!

Here's a link to the sewing machine documentation available at the Smithsonian, although it appears that most of the really older stuff is not available online.

The Smithsonian is a great source of data! :)

Can you build a trolley under it like I did on my Singer 29K70? I can push it out onto the sidewalk or around back into the alley to work on projects. Just needs a stool instead of a chair to accommodate for the added height. It’s 1x4 boards and small casters. Two casters on one end are rigid, and two on the other end are swivel.

I bolted my stand to it, but you could probably drill holes in the boards where the rollers would nest in them if your machine has rollers.

CD in Oklahoma
CD, That's way cool! Yes, I can do that. I have a trolly now that I could use just to make it easier to move from garage to back of house. That can be my start. But I love your trolly idea! Thanks for sharing!
trolly. pstsh I have an industrial 241 needs a tow truck to move it anyplace. Needs to go away. Followed me home and DH wouldn't let it in the house. FOR REAL - it is on my back porch. send a pm if ya wanna nice piece of machine... bring yer own tow truck... if nothin' else maybe I could drag it down to Billy's place and have him paint the stupid thing fire engine red then detail it out to look like a Mac truck or a fire truck or something. It's one of those no chrome flat black - not very inspiring to look at machines - sure is big... I bet it would be good for long arm quilting or what ever... that one is all for speed. I should do that with the inheritance we might get from Uncle Junior.
:lol: :lol:

If Billy can't do it for a while maybe my BIL would do it. He paints everything that isn't moving. I should post a pic of the ugly thing and let everybody pick out the paint.

I have my Grandma's sewing machine she brought to the USA in 1911 from the Netherlands - wrapped in a feather mattress. I learned to sew on it for 4-H club. The wooden cover has a decorative H N on the outside. A brass plate on the machine says HAID & NEU Nahmsschinen Fabrik Karisrune Then Fabrik Marke below that.
It has the oblong bobbin, many different feet attachments, and is a table model with a hand crank.
Number #29 (or 8)2 is imprinted in the wood top and HN is handwritten inside the cover.
Do you now anything about this machine?? Thank you for your help.
I certainly treasure "her" !!! Kay
