This is the next machine that I will be posting on the thread Vintage Machine Shop Photos. See if you can guess the make. The menfolk might like to help with the clue. Surprisingly enough the bottle is still full!

Inquiring minds want to know!!

Well...my guess is that it's a Spitfire sewing machine, made by Sussex...

LOL

that didn't take long!

LOL...it's JUST a guess...no real foundation to it!!

No, but carry on....

Wish I could...would guess that it's a WW1 era machine tho..

Love that case.

I wanna see the rest!!

Nearly my bed time. Wait and see - I'm hoping for a winner by tomorrow, otherwise I might have to keep you in suspense another day!

MUV!! Get back here!! :lol:

Could it be a spitfire.

My guess is that it's a machine used to make hats.

Using your clue "Surprisingly enough the bottle is still full!"

The cap is still on the bottle; so, of course the bottle is still full.

I will add to this shortly.

Sorry, you're on the wrong track.

If you knew how hot it was when we took the photo you too would have been amazed my husband didn't down a bottle of one of his favourite beers.

Keep going....

Dang! I was going to say a Heinrick grossman dresdenia B hat machine. I thought your clue with the beer was directing us to Sewlot's site.

Keep on going, keep on reading, I think you'll get it. Just think of where I am, what I like, and which machine would give me the best of both worlds.....

The Ideal Sewing machine!? Cool machine.

OK, you were getting hot with the Sewalot site. The answer is coming up in about an hour. Think of Winston Churchill and his famous sign. That will give you a letter of the alphabet. Then look in the Sewalot index under that letter.....

I'd love you to get the answer!

Victers Sewing machine!?

Guys like war themes and you stated maybe the guys could help in this clue.
Plus, they made the Spitfire!

Oh crikey you've got one letter wrong...clerical error?

Vickers Sewing machine

Bravo bravo we have a winner!!!

Pictures going up on the photos thread as soon as possible.

Yes, Vickers built the Spitfire. For me this machine gives the best of both worlds because it's made in England, so I can be all patriotic, and to a German design, so I can be efficient!

Cool story on this company! ok now I can go back to sewing my quilt top together. That was a fun game! Thanks! :)
