Frister & Rossman Model A Handcrank |
| This is an antique German sewing machine, unfortunately separated from its top. German machines have a well deserved reputation for exceptional engineering. |
 |
| It's a petite little thing, with really nice decals. Serial number is 1585647. |
 |
| I was told by the previous owner: "A beautiful German made copy of the transverse shuttle Singer # 12. Made in Berlin, Germany after WWI. Sorry, dome top is missing." |
 |
| The inlay in the base is very nice, a tiny bit buckled at the "Rossman" end. |
 |
| Hand crank in excellent condition. The machine turns easily, not frozen or rusted, but it does need cleaning. |
 |
| The faceplate is beautiful! |
 |
| Extra parts and pieces that are in the drawer include an original Frister & Rossman packet of needles, four feet (gathering, cording/braiding, and two hemmers), two edgeguides, an extra bobbin, and one strange part I can't identify. |
 |
| As noted, this is a transverse shuttle mechanism. Shuttle and bobbin are in the machine. |
|
| This machine recently found a good home in Florida. |
