This Einer must be our heaviest machine. You can see how the Singer clone evolved into a much larger and elaborate machine. They even included zig zag features. Even though the machines were cheaper than the Singers and Pfaffs, they were good quality and sewed well. This strong and heavy Einer Deluxe Zig Zag sewing machine came to me […]
This Dabla De Luxe Sewing machine could be the next stage in the Japanese clone evolution with a more square body. It also looks much like a mix between Singer 15 and 99 with the repositioned tensioner compared to the earlier version.
The Japanese Sewing machines This Einer must be close to the earlier Japanese copy of the Singer 15. The tensioner is still at the left of the machine and the body shape is very similar to the Singer. Don’t let the Germanic name fool you. It’s built in Japan by Toyota, Brother or one of the other […]
Of course we found another Gazelle after the first. This older one is a rather nice vibrating shuttle machine. Not connected to the bicycle manufacturer.

Teutonically heavy Kayser early Zigzag machine with twin tensioners to enable the use of twin needles for double stitching.
1956 Anker RR. Looks modern, is mechanically very similar to a model 15 Singer. Here we have two examples of the RR. Both very nice and one comes with accessories and documentation. The bases are different.
Anker This treadle machine is a very traditional design inspired by the Singer class 15. The later RR looks more modern, but is mechanically still very similar.
This is a “Wilhelmina” branded sewing machine 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 anniversary, perhaps in 1918 or 1923 or even her coronation in 1898. The decorations look similar to the machines […]
This is another Winselmann marketed with the name of Eduard Rühl printed on the body. This machine was distributed by Eduard Rühl in Nuremberg. The machine was found in Nuremberg and acquired there by the previous owner who kept it for around 50 years before kindly giving us care of the machine. The bed is decorated with a pretty picture […]
