Several Peeps in Jeeps
We went to see this local museum. The museum shows how our area was affected by operation Market garden. (http://www.museumniemandsland.nl/) It is a very small museum, but inside we saw some interesting displays, vehicles and relics found in the area. It was also staged as a stop in the route of a convoy of historic military vehicles. Sadly the convoy didn […]
A little Key project
Here we have a pretty old box. Maybe made around 1850. There was no key with it, so we couldn't see the contents. I imagined the lock wouldn't very complicated, so I took a bit of copper brake pipe and soldered a simple "bit"onto the pipe. Then I filed the bit down until it fitted the lock. As soon as I could turn the "key" the […]
Singer Toy Sewing machine (1960s)
This machine is a little outside the scope of our usual sewing machine collection as it is a toy machine and it is mostly plastic. But it is such a nice representative of the Sixties toy machines that it deserves a place here. It comes complete with a little case, a cheerful manual and a plastic foot control. Yes, it is electric! Batteries not included. Eve […]
Autumn clean up
You have not seem many posts on this blog for a while. But we have been busy helping our friends moving cars and junk from their shed. This very early Austin 1800 "Balanza" was moved to a new home. Old engines were moved. Even the CJ5 hauled my spare engine to our shed. I think this could be a nice engine display some time.Meanwhile the days are […]
Mini 100 HLE 1984
Here we have another family heirloom. This is a Mini 1000 HLE, bought new in 1984 and still in the family and running great! Now it is our turn to take care of this little gem.Feels right at home with the Sevens. Though this is a later Mini, the first Minis were of course called "Mini Seven".
Husqvarna Combina 3010
This is a rather more modern machine than most of the machines in our collection. This one was bought new probably around 1967 and now we have inherited this family heirloom. That means we know where it came from and who used it, so it deserves a special place in the collection. It comes with a full set of documents, but the warranty certificate details wer […]
Singer 15 NL-K "Nostalgia" series Sewing machine
This is another interesting find. I didn't find it myself but received it as a kind donation to the ever expanding Sewing machine display. The machine design is very much like a Singer 15 should be, but it looks brand new and extremely shiny. There are differences that might point to the possibility of this one being a "Clone" The paint is in […]
"Wilhelmina" sewing machine
I found this "Wilhelmina" branded sewing machine. I had seen one or two offered for sale, but never realised there were at least three versions. This one seemed the oldest version with a picture of the Dutch queen Wilhelmina who reigned from 1898 to 1948. This shows a young Wilhelmina, so it could be this machine was decorated to commemorate some […]
Moody sky paddle
Looks like summer is finally over. Look at the sky today!
Market Garden 75th anniversary: convoys and army camps
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of operation Market Garden, several groups of collectors of military vehicles and reenactors staged convoys and camps along the famous route from the south of the Netherlands to Nijmegen. We visited the final camp of the (mostly British and Belgian)"Liberation Task Force" in Slijk Ewijk and the next day we drov […]
