Messerschmitt sewing machine (ready for take off)
I knew they existed, but it was a big surprise to be offered an actual Messerschmitt sewing machine from the Fifties or Sixties.The company is better known for building airplanes during ww2. But after that war they had to revert to building more peaceful machines like sewing machines and even small cars. The logo is very similar to the logos used on the cars […]
Naumann and G.Kok (R.Knoch, Saalfeld) sewing machines
This is the second Naumann in the collection. This one is branded "Naumann" only in stead of "Seidel und Naumann". Manufactured in Dresden Germany.There are differences especially in the decorations, but also the stitch length lever is in a different position. The cover has some nice veneer and inlays while the name is written in "g […]
Essex Miniature Sewing machine
Inside this rather small box you'll find a fully functional sewing machine. As it is a small machine it was often used as a toy but it is a very useful portable sewing machine. This sewing machine makes a very simple chain stitch and was manufactured from 1946 to 1956 by the Essex Engineering Works. The design was based on the Singer 20 model. This one […]
Jeep XJ Baby Wagoneer heater valve failure
Our Baby Wagoneer has actually been very good and has proved to be a very reliable car but this time something actually broke, but it broke when I arrived home. Still it was a wet and steamy mess when the plastic part of the heater valve broke and dumped a lot of water over the engine. In the picture above the arrow convenietnly points on the broken connecti […]
Gritzner TS Sewing machine
According to the serial number this Gritzner sewing machine was manufactured in 1899 or even 1900. Nice Gritzner badge. Mother of pearl inlays might make this a luxury version. These mother of pearl inlays seem to have been applied a little haphazardly. This wheel and crank unit is very similar to the version on the later R.
Burg Dynometer
A while ago I posted about the Tapley meter . I was surprised and delighted to be given another similar device from another manufacturer. This is the Burg Dynometer. Complete with instruction leaflet. It works in a similar way to the Tapley, but is smaller. I was told someone wrote "keep off" on the box in 1979, so it could be no one touched this m […]
Singer 66 1914' Daten-Kontrollbuch"
This is an interesting item. It is a "Daten-Kontrollbuch" dated 1914. It registered in detail the fact that a customer bought a brand new Singer 66D to the sum of 165 German Marks. He made a downpayment of 8 M. and a monthly payment of 5 M. was agreed.This a a similar machine to the one the book refers to. A Singer 66. This one is a 66K manufacture […]
Sunday Autumn drive
Enjoying a fine Autumn day driving the Wolseley 18/85.
Wire to steel: MGB Axle and wheel swap part two
In my last post The axle was off and I was ready to move the new axle in place. Now it is all done and the Blue MGB rolls on a nice set of RoStyles. But first the new axle needs to be fitted. Here the old and new together. Rolling the axle under the car. With one leaf spring shackle disconnected the wider Axle can be jacked in position. New rubber seals on […]
Tailor Bird Sewing machine
This is a strange sewing machine it looks as if someone decided to re-design the sewing machine. The machine recesses into the box nicely.The Tailor Bird Sewing Machine Company Ltd, was established at Richborough Hall, Kent around 1950 but ceased production in May 1952. Still some 40,000 machines were manufactured, according to the Sewing machine museum webs […]
