Default My Vintage Machines

Hey there!

I'm Seb from France and I have recently developped a passion for vintage and antique sewing machines. I've decided to bite the Bullet and share my machines here

First, a German 1930s Baer & Rempel electified afterwards. It is labelled "Excelsior" because after World War I, German products were not so popular in Europe
I bought it off a charity shop, it is prettyish but I can't seem to be able to make it sew... something to do with the bobbin hook alignement or something...

Secondly (and most importantly for me) I have a 1956 Singer 15b (class 15 built in the French factory). It was my grandmother's sewing machine; she got it as a present on her first Mother's Day in 1957. She has maintained it beautifully over the years and now at age 86 she passed it on to me last Christmas.

I love its vintage 50s look and it works beautifully like new! I only had to change the lightbulb and I think I will soon have to change the belt. Other than this it works perfectly and wonderfully!

Thank you for reading
