Frister & Rossmann Saxonia

Frister & Rossmann Saxonia High body

This is a high body Saxonia type sewing machine by Frister & Rossmann in a coffin type case.  I have been looking for this type of machine for a while now, so what a pleasant surprise! Very different from the Singer type machines. There are obvious similarities,  but interesting differences.  See how the drive is picked up by two cogs inside the big wheel and there’s a small cog that engages when you insert a bobbin to wind. This machine was manufactured between 1907 and 1914
