[ATTACH=CONFIG]608003[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]608004[/ATTACH]I found this old dusty AS Russel & co sewing machine in the loft
not found anything on the net.
Any info and price would be helpful
Thank you

I can't help with your problem, but that sure is a pretty machine.

Look at Frister and Rossman. Very much the same. youtube for threading bobbin.

yea looks a lot like my F and R. it is a transverse shuttle machine. To the left of the needle is a slide which should be hiding a boat shuttle and a bobbin.[ATTACH=CONFIG]608008[/ATTACH]

use lots of oil and be gentle. I believe the hand wheel must be turned to a certain place to get it to fully open

It's beautiful and looks to be in great condition. What a find! I'd love to have a hand crank machine.

Hand cranks are a lot of fun.. boat shuttle and one bobbin are on the right in this pic.[ATTACH=CONFIG]608011[/ATTACH]
