Can any one tell me about this machine? Made by The American Bottonhole Overseaming and Sewing Machine Co. 1850-1860's. It is rough and I don't know if I can save the machine or if it is worth saving. The irons are great and would make a nice table. I was able to post pictures. Thanks for any information.

neat looking machine Gary! I won't have a chance until tomorrow, but I will check to see if there's any information on Needlebar for you then. :)

I found a manual for one on ISMACS but it is not the exact machine.
|
I can't help you at all but it is a great looking machine. Look forward to following the story.

Here is some more pictures of this machine. I would like to find some information on this machine. I looked at all of the pictures of ventage machines today and did not find any like it. I did see one that I thought was like it but a different brand name. I would like to know how it works because there is no bobbin that I can find and I have not been able to find a ser number.

I wouldn't have the heart to use the irons for a table. I would clean up the machine and table then keep looking for the part needed. It has to be out there somewhere.....that's the challenge. It's beautiful. Good luck!

Welcome to the board! Gary was last on the board in March of last year, try sending a pm by clicking on his name. Good luck!

I agree with HiDesertQuilter....clean up the machine and just keep searching for parts, you may get lucky. I'm a glutton for these old machines and would rather see them cleaned up than given up on and disposed of. Wishing you luck.
