Salters Ideal Sewing Machine
4 Attachment(s)
I won this off eBay for $99. It is a chain stitch hand crank. Ain't she cute!!!! The seller was just 66 miles away from me, so I drove up today to pick it up. They were manufactured in London from 1921-late 1922. Sold only at Harrods or Selfridges. Not a lot is known about them.
Here is a link to Alex Askaroff's web page with info on the Ideal Sewing Machine. He says that it's 25 years of snippets to get this much info. http://www.sewalot.com/ideal_%20sewing_machines.htm [ATTACH=CONFIG]440140[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]440141[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]440142[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]440143[/ATTACH] |
Wow, that's really different. I would have thought that someone stripped the paint off it but guess not. Really interesting. Have you sewn with it yet? What a lucky find!
|
They're nickle plated. Very Art Deco. I have to clean it first. And figure out how to thread it. Should be interesting.
|
That is a rare find. Enjoyed reading about it's history.
|
Oh, Dolly! Lucky you!
|
That is too cool! It looks like a super-efficient design... I's love to see how it sews.
