Although the German sewing machine industry seemingly continued to produce machines that were technically out of date, new developments did take place, perhaps most importantly was the introduction of the High Arm Family machine. This machine introduced in the 1890's was designed using a transverse shuttle but was intended to compete with Singer's vibrating shuttle machine - the V.S. 2. Contrary to popular belief the High Arm Family machine was not a copy of the Singer 48K as it predates the introduction of that machine by a number of years. | German Introduction |

Jones Sewing Machine Serial Numbers
Faudels: Serial No. 659437.
Imported and badged by Faudels of London who purchased sewing machines from various German manufacturers. This particular machine is believed to have been made by Haid & Neu around 1900. The machine itself has seen happier times. It has been dropped at some stage, but it has a beautiful Peacock decal which was Fauldels trade mark and Mother of Pearl inlay to the centre bed. There is a feeling of quality about this machine.
Haid and Neu was established in 1860 in Karlsruhe but by 1868 only 2000 machines had been made. This had increased ten fold by 1872 and 1881 saw the firms 100,000th machine.

The name Tryer is just visible on the arm of this machine which was made by Hermann Köhler of Altenburg in the late 1890's. It is typical in appearance of these machines with porcelain handle and inlaid ruler incorporated into the base. The decals are in very good condition but the varnish has discoloured.

Fiddle base hand crank with a geared mechanism recessed into the base, possibly made by Hermann Köhler.
The machine itself is in poor condition with part of the japanning on the bed missing, but the decals on the arm and shoulder are still bright and we think it is a lovely machine. The case of this machine is shown on the Cases & Bases Page
