Lock stitch two thread sewing machine, very rare walnut unfolding table with 3 drawers cabinet, cast iron treadle & stand. The Grover & Baker G. B Sewing machines Company of Boston. MA was one of the original members of Sewing Machine Combination established by 2 boston tailors William O. And the first G&Bs President Orlando B. Potter has the distinction of forming the first Trust in US history: The four. Companies : Grover & Baker Co, Wheeler & Wilson Co, I. Elias Howe Companies also formed 1st in US history Patent pool. In order to prevent themselves from litigations and, of course, to control the sewing machine market. All these companies have contributed into the that pool the best innovative ideas they had. B lock stitch sewing machine Model 9 is one of the first machines has been ever made. Grover and Baker patented their fist idea on May 6 1849 and. Baker SMC has been established. It is the antique sewing machines renown expert’s opinions that the. Higher value generated by all G & B machines is associated due to their unique. Being offered for sale today is Lock stitch # 9 model patented in October 1859. The needle for this machine has been patented (US Patent # 34571) in 1862. This is Famous Silver plated Model # 9, Serial # 420839. The sliding plates and body of the machine head also carry the numerical marks – # 146839. He earlier versions of these machines has been made starting from 1855 till middle 1870. These machines has been hand made with great precision. Even today , 150 years later, all parts in the machines moving mechanisms are perfectly synchronized and functions within themselves as the new ones. Some of the models for G&B SMC in the beginning has been silver plated by Domestic SMC in Buffalo NY and later they gradually began making the parts and a few years later to completely assemble machines for Grover. Even at that time consumers has been forced not to care how beautiful and gracefully curved like a swans those G & B machines are – the production cost and sale price has been deciding factor. Unfortunately today the major goal of our society is the constant pursue of lower cost and most of us have the unfortunate tendency to overlook or simply brush off such aspects as quality and aesthetics. So, let the truly exquisite appearance of this machine serve to us as a reminder of those unfortunately bygone era. All together Grover & Baker SMC for 22 years of existence has produced only. In the middle of 1860. Singer would do an unpredictable simply put all acquired perfectly functioning G&B machines under the press!!! The hundreds of thousand machines has been destroyed! How many has survived after these 150 years? And how many in great mechanical and cosmetic conditions? I bet much less than a one hundred! To make it short those a few surviving up to present time machines are indeed extremely rare! Singer , Wheeler & Wilson, Howe SMC has produced a tens of millions machines and G&B SMC only a relatively few and that is the one of the reasons why serious collectors always ready to pay a premium price for the honor to have one in their collection. Over these years I have had 14! Almost all of 14 machines were not in the functioning but most of the time being completely frozen and some in very bad cosmetic condition. But over these 45+ years it was my true mission to return those rare truly Our American Heritage mechanical beauties to life. Please look at all these pictures attached – For being 148 years old this machine is absolutely beautiful! The machine has been completely taken apart , cleaned , adjusted and now turns and function correct and freely. Please note from the pics provided, that the most of gold painted motifs on the machines body and on cast iron stand did not survived, but could be visible at close observation only as the shadow and I have made the attempt to highlight those hardly visible shadow in order to bring it as close as possible to the original state. The cabinet’s drop leaf with swing support of extended table and beautiful 3 drawers rack has been taken apart , all bronze hinges has been removed cleaned and polished, all original screws has been polished. Each panel and all made out of solid black walnut wood table and base and drawers has been meticulously cleaned to remove oxidation and accumulation of dirt. I have hydrated wood parts with a lot of linseed oil to restore distressed wood and to reveal beautiful wood grain. Just look at the gorgeous selected grain wood panels – I think that the enjoyment a future owner would be happy to experience for the long period of time is justification for the huge amount of time and effort that has been spent on the restoration process. After completion of that extremely laborious process I have sealed the outer surfaces with mixture of polyurethane and oil to preserve the beauty of the wood grain and to prevent further moisture absorption, wood expansion and oxidation. S I have mentioned above , the most of the gold decorations on the machine’s body did not survived and I had to replace them. Those new decoration has been meticulously professionally re-created based on the original pattern that has been seen as a shadow. The oblong portrait of woman in the middle of the machines bed was also in the bad condition , so I have ordered the new decal of the same size and image to be. Made to replace the original one. The machine is sewing perfectly – see pic # 1 how the tremendous punching through power of this machine can effortlessly go through 4 layers of heavy laminated vinyl! Once The Harper’s Monthly Magazine in August 1861 has made the statement about G&B… Does not fail to excite your admiration for the beauty and uniformity. Is surely holds the truth even more now than 159 years ago. American Heritage functioning piece like this one does not present. And I still would continue to keep all of them and enjoy. This rare beauty, but residing in S. Florida where the living space. To reduce the small remnants of my collection to no more than 5 machines.

The Willcox & Gibbs Adjustable Tension Chainstitch sewing machine, some attachments, display stand. While in 1856 the four heavyweights- Singer, Wheeler. Baker and Howe Sewing Machine Companies were trying to solve the problems of patent litigations and did not have a time to address the issue of an average familys financial limitations and as the result they almost overlooked the market demand for affordable family sewing machine. You know, we are talking about Early American Sewing Machines and yet, it sounds very similar to our current situation , does not it? In 1855 after James E. Gibbs saw a simple illustration of Grover. Baker machine it triggered the new idea: The rotating hook on the main shaft could enter into the loop formed by the friction from the threaded needle going up through the fabric, elongate it and hold expanded while the feed dog moved the fabric until the needle at the next needle bar down stroke goes through the previously formed loop, getting drawn through it and therefore to form a chain. Then in 1856 after actually witnessing a Singer model # 1 machine in action Gibbs has came to the obvious conclusion that the machine was too heavy, complicated, cumbersome and way too expensive. He has decided to create a less-expensive and simple type of sewing machine. James Gibbs and Charles Willcox has obtained a few patents. Major one # 17,427 on June 2, 1857. And patented Feed improvements, a few more patents for the method of removing the twists in the thread and also a patent for noise reduction on the feed. After that they have formed Willcox & Gibbs SMC and The 1st commercial chain stitch sewing machine has been patented. In 1857 the 1st machine has been produced by Brown & Sharp Co and became. Please note the following it is not your typical W&G silent automatic tension sewing machine you can see often being offered for sale on E-bay. It is indeed The One of The Most Desirable items. And similar machines appears on E-Bay very rarely : The thread tension system is entirely different than on the typical W&G chain stitch machines – it allows to generate very reliable seam construction of. Absolute uniformity and various tightness or looseness. Adjustable Tensioner and Pull-Off device along with. Sophisticated thread Guide/Regulator allows precise tension for any different work , type of fabric, requirements. Mechanically draws off the exact length of thread for each stitch. Just Please look at the pics attached yes, the machine just appears similar to popular W & G model # 64 , but on the top of everything listed above it has different threading procedure , Different pressure bar, no inner shaft to work with Automatic tensioner. The Needle plate is different too : No replaceable insert for feed dog, No stitch. On this machine it is the references to the very First Patent 1857 Patent and other information you would not find on later versions introduced in 1877. It is indeed Very rare one of the first versions with NO letter prefix in front of Serial #. When determining the machine age please note the following: as per Grace Rogers Cooper , former Curator of Textiles, Museum of History & Technology (now known as Smithsonian) in her famous book “The invention of The sewing machine ” Serial # 242725 (w/o prefix) has been manufactured in January-February 1874. The First prefix A’ appeared in 1877. Also , as per World known Antique sewing machine expert Mr. Alex Askaroff all models w/o automatic tensioner & no letter “A” prefix are pre 1875 models. Based on that – the machine is 144 years old. There are a few methods to determine the age of W & G machines. This machine Serial # 242725. 242725 / 8000 = 30.24 then add 1838 = 1868. Based on that the machine 150 years old. The average of those 3 info is: 1874+1868/2=1871 or it is 147 years old. It appears that taking into consideration one of the known methods I can make an assumption that this machine has been manufactured around 1870, which is basically confirmed by Smithsonian Catalog/Manual of 1916. From Any Early antique machine being over 140 years old would be hard (if not impossible) to expect to be in great cosmetic condition the original decals did not survived. Here is the list of restorations I have to do to the machine : completely disassembled the machine, clean and polished all moving and chrome plated parts including the smallest screws , stripped old remnants of old paint. I have applied automotive primer, let it dry, then applied automotive black paint, and in a few days I have applied the W&G decal made by exact Wilcox & Gibbs specifications for the Early W & G machines. Then I have applied 3 layers of lacquer to protect the decals. After that I have assemble all previously removed and polished parts together. The machine is functioning extremely well and produced the very nice stitch. Could be used by operating with THE ORIGINAL hand crank or , if. Could be very easy mounted on W&G table with treadle. Now machine looks exactly the same as on the Copy of the Original Patent # 21,129 issued to J E A Gibbs on Aug. Please see Copy of this Patent with drawings on the pics # They both displayed under the glass covers inside the unique display stand for this machine. It is not only the rare collectors item , It is in excellent mechanical condition and guaranteed to perform to the high standards designed by W&G company. When this beautiful show piece would need to be utilized as intended for sewing not only as the hand cranked but with treadle. It is indeed Absolutely beautiful and rare completely functional display piece. Unfortunately , quality of my pics does not shows all beauty of this machine. And now being perfect mechanically it will provide the great service to you. Deserved that at least a basic information to be provided about it: It is. One of the oldest and probably one of the most significant precision machine tool builders. The firm was founded in 1833 by David Brown and his son Joseph R. In 1853 the company get Lucian Sharpe as a partner and became. Early work consisted of making and repairing clocks. B & S Co is credited with many inventions including Standard Wire Gages, the B & S taper, pressure angle gearing, milling cutter, caliper, micrometer and the universal milling machine. All collectors of Antique tools know the name of this company very well. When they have began to be associated with W & G and produce # 64 chain stitch machine they basically transformed all American Sewing Machines manufacturing and set “the bar” for all of manufacturers to another level. They first began to mass produce truly interchangeable extremely highly precision parts for W. G SMC and only stop doing that in 1948. And they were continue to be the one of leaders of the industry till 2001 when all of the assets of the B&S including the intellectual property, designs, trademarks and facilities were acquired by Hexagon AB, without the acquisition of B&S. The Brown & Sharpe brand of measurement products became the Epitome of super high quality and precision and that is one of the reasons why W &G machines are so popular as the collectors item. 1- W & G Adjustable tensionI Sewing machine, 1870. 1-Hard wood functional mechanically display base with bronze handle which opens to display Copies of Original Patent #21129. 4- W & G needles. 1- needle and nut wrench , W & G. 1- Cloth Guide, W & G. 1 Large Attachment screw , W & G. 2- Price list of attachments, W & G copy from Smithsonian , will be forward in PDF. 1 Direction Manual , 36 p , From Smithsonian , will be forward in PDF. 1-Historical Book of Perfection of sewing mechanism -Willcox & Gibbs Copy from Smithsonian, will be provided in PDF format.

Shaws Patent Sewing Machine. Being by appearance and all definitions one of. Type Antique chain stitch sewing machines this featured machine is technically “Shaw’s Patent Sewing Machine “. It is the fundamental inventions by A. Shaw and has the Patent #307,202 filed on Dec 16 1862 and being used in manufacturing of a great number of. On the featured machine the Pressure spring (see pic # 2) there are markings on the top of foot pressure spring -“Patented Dec 16 1862″. This particular patented improvement is dealing with t. He feed-lever “H” carrying the jointed feeding and pressing foot “L. See fig 1 & Fig 2 in the attached Patent. You can also see it as the background on some of the pics. Is fitted into a vertical slot in the stand “A”, the part received in the said slot having rounded protuberances on each side to bear against the sides of the slot to permit the free vibration of the lever, as well as a free upward and downward movement. The lever is made with a yoke “H” for the reception of the cam “C” and fitted with a set screw “T” to regulate the feed, as in many other New England type sewing-machines. The downward pressure upon lever is produced by a spring, to permit it to have an independent upward and downward movement. Between the spring and the cam “d” there is arrangement for a pin and a hole for pin to pass freely through. While the needle is in the fabric and the lever is returning with the foot “L” prior to a new feed-movement, the cam raises the leaf removing the pressure of the spring from the lever and foot, allowing foot to slide freely over the cloth. These small, hand-turned sewing machines were manufactured by six companies. In The Carter Bays’ Encyclopedia of Early American & Antique sewing machines (III) where the same machine is being featured on page #161 fig # 2-194 with the comments that two-or three digit number painted underneath (also see fig 2-226). On this machines these 3 (three) painted numbers are “58”. Most likely these are being a serial numbers. Many years ago I used to have the similar machine with # “114”.

Their machines were marked with the company name and a list of patent dates including those of Batchelder , Howe, Wheeler and Wilson, Grover and Baker, Singer together with their own design patents. On the same token, they have been notoriously known of producing sewing machine without a name or any identifying marks even after the lawsuit with the Combination. The year of manufacturing is most definitely way way before 1873 when J. Weir has introduced improved thread tensioner (patent # 2738). Never-the-less, The marking of A. Shaw Patent on the Foot Pressure plate & date and painted “58” makes it extremely rare. There are 2 marks 11 on the needle bar and back of the face plate those most definitely the marking of parts for this particular machine while in production. Remember, in that time in 1860. All machine has been been by hand and parts made for one would not be interchangeable with another similar machine. Willcox & Gibbs SMC has introduced the first machine with interchangeable parts a few years later. The machine is complete , turning very freely, has the needle (7 more needles are in the vintage wood case) and being displayed on the hard wood stand with 4 legs with leather pads.
