Winselmann
This 1903 Winselmann Hera came with our Pfaff 30. It is a very close copy of the Singer 28. Of course the decals are different and the bobbin winder looks much like the high version on the later 128.
Sewing machines
Seidel & Naumann
This Seidel & Naumann is also a vibrating shuttle machine. One of the many machines inspired by the Singer 127/128. These ” clones” were manufactured by different manufacturers in different countries and branded even more widely,
Phoenix 38 sewing machine 1936
Here’s a big and beautiful, but rough Phoenix 38 sewing machine manufactured in 1936 by the Baer & Rempel Sewing Machine Company. This fairly large machine was considered a medium type and could sew up to 4,500 stitches per minute. It is a double-cycle,rotary hook machine.
Pfaff 9 1960s
This Pfaff 9 is almost too modern. Lighter than the 60, it is still a sturdy machine. Though very basic, it is a cleated belt machine like the 130.
Pfaff 60 1955
This redesigned Pfaff 60 is mechanically conventional but extremely strong . Though the design is more modern for 1955. It is not an electric machine, but there is an electric sewing light. This machine saw very little use and came with a full set of accessories, a booklet and even the original bill of sale dated 1955.

Pfaff 130 treadle machine 1951
This 1951 Pfaff 130 treadle machine is just one year older than our Pfaff 30. Here you can clearly see the cleated drive belt and the big dial for the zigzag mechanism. It is a strong and heavy machine.
Pfaff 11 1937

The vibrating shuttle model 11 started life as the ” K” and was a very popular machine in the 1920’s and 1930′ s. When the […]
Pfaff B 1891
the Pfaff B was one of the earliest Pfaff sewing machines. Logic dictates the B follows the A. Though there was a Model A, I have never actually seen one advertised, so this 1891 B will be the senior of our Pfaff line up.
