Thank you, I really enjoying finding inexpensive machines and taking them apart[ATTACH=CONFIG]472387[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]472388[/ATTACH] just to put them back together all fresh and clean. These are from the TS before.

just won this on Fleabay.... It was sold as a 1905 postcard, but it is actually dated 1908.
The fun part is it shows a sewing machine shop (I LOVE THE NAME of the sewing machine shop...) and it is taken downtown in MY hometown of Jamestown NY. 8 years BEFORE my Grandmother was born.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]474687[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]474688[/ATTACH] |
That is a neat card. I love old pics of places.
And it's a Jamestown, NY postcard, sent to a lady in France, and the message is written in what looks like German. Very cool card. I love that printing. It's almost a form of calligraphy. Joe |
based on the local population I suspect it is swedish.

Thanks, It really looks like a lot of useful information I can trace into inkscape then colour in (matching these B&W drawings with actual machine pictures). I noticed nobody seems to sell decal sets for fiddlebase machines, so if I create some I'll make them available for everyone, gratis of course. |

Very generous Mike!
Jim, you're looking for waterslide decal paper, Testor's is one brand. I don't remember which printer is best or if it matters. There's also a spray you use to waterproof the ink after the decal is printed. Here's one set of instructions. http://wiki.vintagemachinery.org/CreatingDecals.ashx Rodney |
Hubby and I are new grandparents. Katie Anne was born early Saturday morning. The photos won't load, so I can't show you our beautiful granddaughter. :mad:
