Hi I am in the UK the had cranked WW9 is different to the ones I have seen in the USA I guess you will be looking for the wild USA crank and not the neat small UK ones UK has a lot more hand crank machines of all types, it has been suggested that our houses were small and not enough room for a treadle table? Wheeler Wilson No9 my guess at the date 1901?SN-2544138 Sad bit about this machine was the break in the bed under the stitch length adjustment, the corner of the casting has been glued to the wood, a job for another day to reattach it back on the bed. As a comparison to my WW8 hand crank The only bit missing on this one was the front slide plate, you can see the (Wilko Turner) I will make one out of that one day. This should make some one smile 7min video How many machines can you see in my living room (I created this video for a relative in Victoria BC she was 100y old this year) There are 22 machines in the room my wife added (2 more Essex - like a singer 20) under the other dining chair. Most of the gin bottles are empty waiting to be filled with my Sloe and Damson gin. One of my other hobbies is electronics, which explains all the extra tools. I live near Cardiff UK, as you can see we have small houses, the other ground floor rooms are the kitchen and hallway. upstairs 3 small bedrooms, with more machines. My background is engineering hence all the machines, I make them work and set them up for my wife to do her projects. The 1908 Singer 66k on the dining table MUST be a factory refurbish The condition is fantastic There is an odd old style bobbin winder with an extra bit on the pillar of the head for mounting it? The 12 spoke on the hand wheel suggest it must have been a treadle machine in the past Everything under the bed seems to have been nickel plated. TIP some of the oil holes under the bed took oil BUT there were clogged with vanish so no lubrication, I always poke in them with a copper wire or a paperclip a soft metal to make sure oil get to the moving parts.
