Are you an advanced sewing machine collector of antique American made sewing machines and do you intend to have your sewing machines complete? We’ve had this problem with several of our antique miniature sewing machines which came with a hook needle.
With over 30 years of collecting antique sewing machines only one hook needle was offered to us and this should cost 500 US-$!!
It took us years of researching to find a german craftsmen who is making these hook needles - also known as barb needles - individuell needle by needle per hand. It is very difficult to make these high quality needles, made of hardened steel and they are only 0.039 inches thick. They can be made in different lengths with different size-eyelets, depending for which machines you want to use them.
This sale is for the NEEDLE ONLY!
If you want to complete your antique sewing machine with a needle just like it has been used in the 1800’s this is your chance.
Make yourself a christmas present.
Some of the machines which use this type needle are:
Hancock type of 1868
Soezy
Lamson
Fox & Hubbard
Lake (both known models)
Boynton
Household Pet
Landfear
Parker
Roach & Bancker
Unfortunately, we are not able to reproduce the mounting nut as American thread equipment is not available in Germany.
I have added some pictures of the machines which utilize a hook needle.
Shipment by registered and insured letter worldwide.
If you wish to purchase one or more of these needles and if you have any questions please email us and remember that our time difference can be over 9 hours. Thanks for looking
