I have been asked to identify this machine. I don't have a clue, of course, but they don't know I have helpers. I've asked for better pictures, but so far no go.[ATTACH=CONFIG]540426[/ATTACH]The badge that's on it is Norwegian, and definitely not the maker. Anyone?

"they don't know I have helpers" - gave me my chuckle for the day. Don't know a thing about the machine except back in the day I probably saw a cobbler use one. Lived in a little tiny town that had "while you wait service". His big spinning roll with sanders, polishers etc. always fascinated me as a youngster.

I right clicked on mine and didn't get what you get but I clicked on "open image on new tab" and it showed upright, yeah, so much easier to look at, and it is a cool machine. Thank you mav.

Ive been reading up on boot/shoe making and at some point will make my own boots, wife some mocaccins. Unless I can find a treadle sole/leather sticher. Prob will end up starting out with hand tools for the leather part, and my Singer 347 for the fabric parts.
Also been looking at doing leather or layering leather with ductape for the outer sole, and leather and cork for the insole.
Any shoe makers in here?
