I just came into several of these wonderful mechanical contraptions, by way of an amiable and persuasive fellow who got them in a storage locker purchase.
In spite of being new, they are collectively, bent, broken, missing parts, rusty and dirty. I figure that I might get 3or 4 complete machines out of the lot. But I don't care. I think that they are marvelous contraptions. When you turn the hand wheel, parts and levers go up and down and back and forth. They are just plain fun to watch in action.
By coincidence, I had a customer come to look at a sewing machine, for leather, and, it turned out that he had actually worked for the company that made them in China at one time. He looked at one and told me that I could make shoes with it, and could sew up to about 1/2" of leather.
Anyone out there want to make shoes?
yes, I would. How much are you selling for?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI sell these for $175.00. I am waiting for parts to finish setting the last one of the bunch. Should be ready in a couple of weeks as parts have to come from Australia.
Are they all sold?
