I found a website that has a couple of S&N sewing machines with serial numbers, and approximate dates of vintage that encompass yours: I see scattered references out there to KI. What would the letter KI.9 stand for and how rare is this machine? I have managed to download the picture of the front on the whole machine. I will try to work out the year of manufacture. I don't know how to add another picture but going by the comments I have received I will have to say it a badged Seidel and Naumann. Thank you so much! I am in Australia so sorry for the delay in replying. So that supports the theory that Seidel and Naumann did make badged machines.Īll in all, I suspect that you have a badged Seidel and Naumann vibrating shuttle machine (modeled on a Singer vibrating shuttle machine) produced some time after 1905. Righton of Evsham who's name can just be made out on the arm. This Vibrating Shuttle machine has Egyptian style decals and Naumann on the arm.Īt the same website is this information about another S&N sewing machine:īelieved to have been made by Seidel & Naumann but labeled for R. Manufactured by 'Siedel and Naumann around 1905 and sold through the Company's London depot at 23 Moor Lane E.C. What I did find at a reputable website is a Seidel and Naumann vibrating shuttle sewing machine with the same decals: I did find one site that promised such a thing (at peatix dot com), but it required you to click on something else, and it sure looks like malware, so stay away from it). I took a look around to see whether there was any Seidel and Naumann database of sewing machine serial numbers, but no joy. However, we'd still like to see a picture of the front, because we're suckers for beautiful vintage sewing machines.
I do think your machine is a Seidel and Naumann. That little shovel-shaped access panel on a pivot point on the front side is reminiscent of Singer's vibrating shuttle family of machines.
Either the Coombe name is a model name, or Seidel and Naumann engaged in a practice called "badging": You're allowed up to four pictures per post, and you only have three right now.Ī casual search for "KI.9 sewing machine" produced this:Īntique Seidel and Naumann KI. In case you don't know, you're looking at the front of the machine when the wheel-like thing is on the right-hand side. The front is where most of the really telling features (controls) are located. Please add a picture of the front of the machine. I’ve never heard of your machine, but would like to learn about it. Hopefully, the lady who knows everything about treadle machines will respond soon. I would love to see the front side of the machine and cabinet….so could u add 1 more picture?
