Hi Miller, I can't speak for W&W but do believe Coopers chart is a year late for Davis. In the early 1870's Davis made a deal with the Combination to make 30,000 machines over 3 years. I have period

Hi Debbie;The #9 machine was made from 1887 - 1895. Th3 D-9 replaced it in 1895, but all D-9s have 7 digit serial numbers, which start around 2,200,000 & go up to just short of 3,000,000. Most #9

viavillecinque Thank you for the compliment, that is very kind. Lee

Thanks for posting these. Interesting to see machines of this age and so beautiful too.

Hi Lee; Yes, by all means we would love to see pictures of your machine, do rut them in the photo album Miller/TN -- *Miller*

Hi Miller & all, I fully agree with you in respect to Rijnko's hand crank being fabricated in the UK and that this type is extremely rare. I have been collecting for well over 20 years and am only

beautiful. unique.? similar to drawing, or cuts, you call these. and the mechanism of the handcrank, very clear.? thank you both

Recently acquired my machine and am trying to find it under all the dirt. ?Tried to remove the needle and I can not get it out. ?Any help with cleaning this poor child would be appreciated. ?I’m
