Edited to add: Neat to find out that it is a machine that actually could be used to make boat or car custom covers. Or perhaps, those desert material patio covers. Years ago, a guy made us a complete set of folding tops (We had the rails) and side curtains complete with zippers to conver and protect the deck of a small vee hull off-shore boat. I bet he used a machine just like this one because he said his machine was very old. As far as I am concerned, it is a very neat find. It's probably a good thing I don't know where you live because I would be wanting to come see this machine.
Most upholstery places here use old Juki machines for heave duty fabrics. They aren't fancy but they seem to do a good job. I couldn't believe the machine the guy used to make custom upholstery for my husband's show car. But it worked fine!
