Some of these are just too finicky to take on the road and get used by unknowing hands.. Other don't work but look pretty interesting.
This one came from Mexico. We have no idea who built it. ( Do any readers know?) The crank mechanism would need parts made for it to get it to work. The pawfoot base is fun and Leon loves the way the back opens up. He also likes the visible planetary gears. It is a vibrating shuttle machine with leaf tension.
This is a Singer 28 made in 1910.
Another pawfood. This one appears to be a Davis. I thought the blue tape on the bobbin winding wheel was a hoot.
This hand crank hinge was repaired somewhere in it's history.
