Antique Harris Sewing Machine Vintage 1910 Stoewer - Serviced Tested Working
Thanks for looking
Great opportunity to own an antique Harris Sewing Machine - it's in excellent condition and has been serviced, tested and is in full working order. After some research I can confirm that this is from 1910 and was made for Harris by Stoewer. If you want further info there's an excellent website with a full history of the company (see last pic - its from the site) - just google it!
Harris were famous for their baby carriages but before that they made sewiing machines - as you're probably aware this is a very early model and an exceptionally rare item. An identical one without the case is available on here for £395. Personally, I think that's too expensive so have kept the price fair and reasonable
Firstly, what you'll get:
▪︎ antique Harris Sewing Machine
▪︎ 1910 model (made by Soewer for Harris)
▪︎ original Walnut case with original key
▪︎ there's a slide drawer with 'bits' in it
▪︎ hand crank
Condition
This is the best part! It's in excellent condition. All parts are present. The gilt filigree is still crisp and clear. There are a few mark's on the black paintwork and also on the case but nothing serious. As a display piece it's a work of art - it looks magnificent but I really hope it gets used for it's intended purpose as....
Mechanically, it's working perfectly! Usually, when these come in they're rusty, have missing parts and there are problems with the mechanism. I suspect this was always kept in a house rather than a damp garage, cellar or attic as there are none of the usual issues. I gave it a quick service and oil but to be honest it doesn't need anything done to it - it's ready to go.
I've tried to include as many pics as possible but if you need any more just ask. I'm happy to perform any tests if you need me to?
