    Volume issue seems to have been corrected, as I can hear it just fine today! Great presentation. I love old machines, and I have a singer 66 crinkle finish treadle, my grandmother's 501a slant, and just got a 221. I have several more modern machines, but I am always going to enjoy and appreciate my pieces of history!

    This is exactly the kind of video I would have loved to present to my H. Ec students and Art Studies AP students. Better yet - to have flown you in person. ❤️ I agree, there is a revival in both appreciation and domestic use of old machines for so many wonderful reasons. It would be lovely to see more - your research, voice and ability to communicate is comprehensive, concise and well organized. I looked at your channel and it was incredible to see all of the interviews/stories… a great way to document.

    Terrific narration by Philip C. Osborne; thanks Phil. I saw no mention of Gen. William Lucien Dean, U.S. Army. Bill, the son of former Mayor and local farmer, Aubrey Dean grew up in Blue Rapids, graduated from Blue Rapids High School and was active in WWII, the Korean Conflict, Viet Nam, and later; he retired as a General Officer from his last duty station at Fort Hood, Texas. I don't know his exact rank as General.

      The double parlor was still there with the columns, as was a beautiful cherrywood staircase. The floors WERE in terrible condition and I was shocked to hear they had been that way for so long. We loved this old house. We brought our first child home to live here. Unfortunately being 20 and 21 year old college students we just didn’t have the financial means to save it. I did what I could to appease the city council as long as possible on the outside, but our focus at the time was getting the inside livable and safe for our new child. I wish we could have saved it. The outside was an eyesore, but the woodwork and interior was beautiful, and built with craftsmanship and materials that you don’t see much anymore. There was lots of love in that old home and you could feel it.

    Planned obsolescence is a pain. i bought a Bernina at the start of the 21st century and sent it to the tip after a dozen years of work as it could not be repaired. Needless to say I didn't spend that amount of money on it's replacement but bought a $250 mechanical machine instead. If it is only going to last 10 years then it makes no sense to spend $$$ on a machine.

    My passion for sewing machines started in 2020, when lots of people where selling them cheap, on Market Place. In Brasil, we can't find 201s, or 99s, but there are lots of 221s. The technology is fascinating. The parts, the bolts, the connections, the attachments. Necchi, Elna, Bernina, Husqvarna, Brother, Toyota, Elgin, Pfaff, General Electric, and the Singers. I am blessed.

    I bought a Singer 431g slant-o-matic kinda randomly, a while ago. I don't have the space, to collect old machines (although I would love to do so), but I couldn't pass on that one. I had never seen a sewing machine quite like it. The slanted needle! The insertion disks for decorative stitches! The chain stitch!. It's ugly as sin, but a fascinating piece of sewing machine history and in remarkably good shape. I opened it up and it looked very clean and well oiled. Like someone had cleaned it up right before storing it away. Sadly I don't know anything about it's history.

    czcams.com/video/faXj1uVj4RM/video.html The first household-zigzag-sewing machine, the Mundlos 125Z, was built 1925 by Heinrich Mundlos in Magdeburg, Germany and not around 1940. Singer came out with their first zigzag-machine, the 206, in the early thirties, as did Pfaff (Kaiserslautern, Germany) with their famous 130. So it may feel like zigzag came during or after the second world war, but it didn't ;-)

  • @fritz3388

    I kind of collect sewing machines that people throw away. The nicest to work with is the oldest, a classical style Anker cast iron. Most of all, she is by far the quietest and softest running and has the widest sewing step. At my families home, we have the same model from my grandmother, but foot driven only. For the average family sewing thats enough, it doesn't need an electric motor. Thank you for your presentation from Hamburg.

    • @theprojectproject01
      @theprojectproject01 Před rokem

      I have a few machines that were made pre-1976 or so, all Japanese or European machines. By that point, American-made SIngers had devolved into the "touch-and-sew" lineup, rightfully deride as "Try-To-Sew." ANY of my Kenmores will absolutely put it in the shade. I have a couple 401s; frankly, I'm underwhelmed. My Kenmore 158.1941 is a far, far better machine, mechanically, and it makes a much nicer stitch. And my Montgomery Ward URR 292 is even a little nicer than that, just that little bit smoother; I only wish it had a flatbed version available. I'm not averse to SIngers, but the American-made versions just don't do it for me, and the slant-o-matics are great to look at but struggle with the heavier fabrics I primarily work in. For my day-in, day-out hobby-threatening-to-become-a-vocation of custom tactical gear, I do quite a bit on a mid-'50s Singer 216G. I modified it a bit to get the zig-zag bight out to about 6.2mm, and the machine handles it pretty well, Certainly better than a Rocketeer. As you can see, I have THOUGHTS and FEELINGS about vintage sewing machines!

    I have had several sewing machines over the last 50 years. My treadle machine is a Pfaff 130, I have a Singer 306. Had a Singer 318 but they require a special needle. Changed the bobbin case to fix the situation. My first computer machine was a Singer Athena, with the "tangle and swear" drop in bobbin. My Pfaff 1474 computer machine was dropped and damaged when I lent it to a relative, I just replaced it with Plastic Brother mechanical with no alphabet. Just do mending and alterations now. 4 and 3 thread servers, and one zig zag are enough to do what I do. Where is your museum? Frances Timoner sewing machine museum is on my bucket list.

    I have a Singer 401a slant just like the tan one on the table. My mom bought it in the 50’s for about $300. I have used it on a regular basis since I was 7 or 8. Dad used a large thread spool and a coat hanger to make a crank so I could use it when I was too young to have it plugged in. I still use it almost daily. What I love is that I can do the repairs myself. There is a reason Singer included a screw driver in their tool kit. I own 3 others that I have bought second hand and cheap so that I have a ready supply of parts and because I love them
