The purpose of the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society is to foster the collecting of, and research into, sewing machines.

Moldacot Sewing Machine Survey Results

Moldacot Sewing Machine Patent Model, 1886

Below are the results of the great ISMACS Moldacot survey. With over 300 entries we have doubled the cover of the last survey. The ‘hand wheel’ column only has the entry ‘pusher’ where we have been able to check that there are no holes for attaching the hand gear.

Other entries with no hand gear noted are ones with holes for hand gear. You may notice one or two anomalies which do not fit the conclusions given in the last issue but I suspect these have arisen from collectors and others swapping bits about to make complete machines. (MG)
