Default The new girl - Davis Rotary

I am really excited to be adding this one to my collection. Davis rotaries are quite rare, and this is one made for a treadle too.

it's nicer in person than in pictures.











Though this part is bent/broken. Not sure what it's purpose is other than a tension guide.




This is neat - when you raise the presser bar this hook goes down and seperates the two disks to release the upper thread tension.



Bobbins and Case - I would not have bid on this one without them.




And attachments.



This is a set I didn't have. It's not quite like any others, as the feet are high like standard but the underbraider and shir plate are like Free/Westinghouse.


It also came with some interesting hand needles. The larger may be just a leather needle, the lower came in the packet and is different- it only has one sharp edge.
