I WISH / DREAM ebay and CL sellers would write the "obvious" serial numbers in their descriptions such as Davis, Singer, and others. Jon |
Can't wait to see the pink/red sewing machine!! I just love the different colors of the un-Singers.
Happy Anniversary, Charlee (and William)! A toy sewing machine would be my guess on the gift. |
Better guess would be Frister and Rossmann though, on second thought.

Thanks Melinda! And no...not an F&R, altho I might have chosen that one before I knew that this one is harder to find here in the States! :) You're on the right track tho....it's German....
|
Another clue: It was made in Altenburg, East Germany. :)

Yep, that does indeed look like a Davis. The top is thick, and the little curlycues on the front drawer look just like my cabinet for my NVF. That price is high, but maybe they would deal. Anyone looking for a Davis? This is a good prospect.

Charlee...one of these http://www.sewmuse.co.uk/Kohler%20sewing%20machine.htm

I knew that machine had your name on it!
Your true red one will find you one day - when you least expect it!

It is complete - bobbin winder and all - nothing missing nor broken. The only thing I can see that needs replacing is the bobbin winder tire. I won't have time for a few days to clean and oil the machine. I am busy right now on something else. I will post a picture in a couple days, when I have the time to really clean it, oil it and try sewing with it.
I am thinking, though, it is fun to have a machine with some color! Something besides, black, white, or mocha! Nancy |

:) Candace got it! It is a Köhler. Not quite as early as those, This one is from the 40's or early 50's and it does have some cosmetic issues. Here are the "before cleaning/before restoring" pics. William is rather mortified that I didn't at least dust it before pics...I told him that y'all have seen dust before!! :D
