I've never seen anything like this one before!
Maybe I've been living under a rock, but this one looks so unusual!
http://providence.craigslist.org/atq/4418604694.html The ad says it's a chain-stitch machine. Not anything I need, but it's really pretty, though. :) |
Neat looking!

They don't come up that often. I don't know about value for it but it doesn't seem too out of line for an uncommon machine.

There's one of those in Cincinnati on CL. It's been sitting for a while at $95.
I think it requires special needles. Or at least uncommon ones. There it is: http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/atq/4373344617.html |
it is the Singer Model 24. Singer's version of the Willcox & Gibbs Chainstitcher.

I’ve got a 1911 Singer 24-50 that someone has setup to use a motor for power, with both machine and motor mounted flat on a board. The motor is an old Kenmore type that takes the Kenmore 3-spade plug and control. It’s got a belt groove in the handwheel for the motor, plus the normal pulley that is designed to be powered from below. I don’t know if the extra belt groove was something that Singer offered, or it was milled by a previous owner. I’d love to have a handcrank model.
My spreadsheet says that it takes a 24-1 needle, but I’ve never tried sewing with it. I use it for decoration up on a shelf in the sewing room. CD in Oklahoma |
And here is yet another similar one but the decals are pretty much non-existent and according to the ad, it does not work. Also has dents and cracks and etc. but it can be yours for a mere $79.00 or OBO.
http://greensboro.craigslist.org/atq/4389463476.html Wonder why there are a string of these showing up right now? |
That is one that made it to my "want" list LOL!! If I found one like the OP at that price, I'd snap it up in a heart beat!
Though then I 'd have another treadle cabinet I don't have room for. |

Love the OP! I would snatch it. Let's see.....Iowa to Rhode Island for a chain stitch.....nah, my hub would kick me out. Lol! |
It's not the Dutch Boy, it's a "Behr", one of those hairy beasts, anyhow.
|
What an odd looking machine! I've never seen it before. I would like to have one just because it's so unusual looking, at least to me. My sewing machine collection is small because I don't have room for them, drat!;)

Love the decals.
