A propos de cet article

Poor condition. Sold as is with all faults. 24 pages including covers. Staple-bound booklet; H 19.25cm x L 13.25cm. Moisture stained, toned, and chipped covers detached from interior pages; once with two staples at spine with only top one still present albeit heavily rusted. 3.5cm tear ascending from bottom edge affecting all pages. Some soiling and staining affecting interior pages as well with shallow chipping at margins. Undated but front cover's top left corner has code "5M-12-47-JK" which, for many such pamphlet publications, would generally indicate a December 1947 printing date. However, the paper quality and sewing machine design indicate an earlier date perhaps circa 1920-1930. A manufacturer is never specifically stated save for the enigmatic E.B.H. on the front cover. E.B.H. hints at an Elias Howe licensee or offshoot but no reference for such a company was found within SINCERE'S HISTORY OF THE SEWING MACHINE by William Ewers et al nor in the Smithsonian Institution's online edition of THE SEWING MACHINE: ITS INVENTION AND DEVELOPMENT by Grace Rogers Cooper nor by an internet search. Further hints may be offered by a b/w illustration of "Wide Hemming" on page 15 which features a company name of Herster N.S.M. Co. whereas a b/w illustration of "Quilting" on page 17 has N.S.M. Co. Herster SC. However, cursory research did not turn up any references for that company either. Includes nine b/w illustrations of the machine and close-ups including the aforementioned images of the needle and stitching head. Contents include: Index (page 2); "General Instructions" (page 3); "To Oil the Machine" (pages 4-5); threading, winding, hemming, etc. directions (pages 6-17); certificate of warranty (page 18); and comprehensive list of parts and accompanying 100+ b/w illustrations of mechanical pieces from screws, nuts, springs, rods, etc. on pages 19-22. Concludes on page 23 with three slender captioned b/w illustrations of incorrect and correct stitching. Intriguing ephemera item for the sewing machine collector.…
