Some say the sewing machine represents the finest piece of 19th Century precision engineering in the world. The Willcox & Gibbs chain stitch machines are one of the most collected sewing machines of all time.
(I now have a hand crank, a treadle, a cabinet electric, and the glass tension treadle.) So I've not seen or used a hat machine.Metallic green? Wouldn't have said that was your style.

Willcox Gibbs History Cracked Where The
It does not look right and maybe even cracked there? Best regards, MikeHi again Paul, The mention of the model 64 was from buying Alex Askeroff's kindle book on Wilcox and Gibbs. I'm really interested in your take on the K model hand crank picture showing the serial number. I'll need to find someone who can speak from experience using one before I buy the hat machine to finish the collection if it ever gets that crazy. Now working on the glass tension discs machine. I also won an auction for a machine out of UK that looks like it is cracked where the serial number goes. This gent uses allot of redwood bases and sprays that with clear also.
Best regards, MikeEdited: Paul, I'd really like your take on that K model hand crank serial number. It has some interesting models in the book. Think the book was 3 dollars but worth it to me in the library. He mentions it being the most common of the machines.
Willcox Gibbs History Serial Numbers That Fall
That's based on dates given out by Graham Forsdyke (which are based on W&G factory records) for serial numbers that fall on either side. It looks like it was done by two separate stamps and if so possibly it is not cracked but just ground down unevenly?The green machine (A260480) is from either 1874 or 1875. The 00 followed by the 1623 is puzzling to me. I can fix it if it is cracked but not sure if that is just how it was ground down or what. That piece of metal where the serial number is substantial. In description all it states is "a very early serial number".
Likely it'll stay a mystery.Umbrella swift and skein winder.you gotta be a weaver. So something has happened to that machine along the way. Even the earlier machines with fewer digits never had leading zeros, and by the time the automatic tension machines came along they (almost) all had a letter prefix: either 'A' or 'B'. He just doesn't want to publish the original records.)Yes, that 00 s/n is odd. (He knows, and even proofread my notes at one point. I've been keeping notes for several years on the dates he's given out.
Instead of frankentreadle it is a frankenloom. The overhead beater and flying shuttle is a Leclerc and a couple other parts but I took plans for a German design called a flying-8 and then heavily modified the heck out of the design. I have a 12 shaft countermarche, flying shuttle, overhead beater, with dual warp beams I made here.
If they super glued it I'll need to remove any before welding on the back side the crack as it will give off cyanide gas but it can most definitely be fixed with some 2.0mm stainless rod and an inverter welder with ease then a tad bit of finish work.Mike, I'm drooling as I read about your frankenloom. Looking at the pic again I'm certain it is cracked. Not for sewing stretchy spandex, lycra or knits like the 48k is that is for certain.For Paul, please let me know when you get a chance about t"K" hand crank serial number. Here is a picture from internet. Yup, I wanna hat sewer also but I have studied lots of pic's on internet and if you call those feed dogs on those things they are rabid dogs because they are nothing like I've seen before.

Anyways, this machine might be from the late 1890's or early 1900's and I'd sure like to nail down the date better. I bought the no 9 so that I may analyze the parts when making some needed parts for my two Grover and Baker No 1 improved lock stitch industrials from the 1870 (one I think is a prototype and even earlier.certainly 1 of 1 left/remaining). This is same gent who sold me my restored Grover and Baker no 9 that is absolutely stunning.
Is there such an animal ? I read about the model 10 and how it supposedly went back into the 1890's at some point of that decade then later had oil distribution system. Got another question.sorry.I heard rumor of a zig zag Willcox and Gibbs. For now it will be in a cue of machines coming here that I sweat each and every shipment. Best regards, MikeMaybe some day a new thread. I have similar on the no 9 which is even more amazing in some respects as the bed of the machine has stunning art work.
