Vintage Consew
 

Need help with MH1272257, just purchased Consew telling me to old to identify.
Its pre war. Has a table with external motor under it.

Welcome aboard. You may not find a lot of help here. I haven't found any good forums for industrial machines.

Pictures are always nice, but they have to be tiny. Do you have other old machines?

I just put a picture of mine on for Leonf to see. It is pretty old, but it sews like a dream. Mine is a Singer 20U. It is a Consew.20-U
I cleaned and oiled and it sews really good. You have to learn where to put your foot[how low and high]
to make it sew the speed you want.

I can't get picture to upload. I just purchased It is still has it cloth plug in. No other vintage machines.

I believed it a leather machine with table. Motor is underneath .

You will need to resize your images. On post #8 of https://www.quiltingboard.com/vintag...ml#post7855027 there is some info about how to post a picture. As mentioned there I'm using Microsoft Office Picture Manager I also link to a google search about resizing images. You might want to put in the particular program that you are using. Also mentioned there in that program you need to say to click "no" so that original is saved after you have also "save as"

I had been resizing by percentage and then found that there is a "predefined size" drop down list that gives a variety of options. I found that "Web Large" is a good size to post here.

It may be a leather machine but maybe not. Just because it's a huge industrial machine doesn't necessarily mean it's for huge jobs. Most industrial machines are meant to sew the same fabrics that household machines sew. They're just built to do it faster, day in and day out in a factory production setting. We need to see the machine to give you any real advice on it.
