Durkopp TS
Serial: 2198
Date:
Decals: Daisy
Purchased: Aladdin Antiques 2/2023 $50
Rare machine, only found one other picture and no information. Resembles a couple F&R TSH (Transverse Shuttle Hybrid) models from between 1916 and 1924 but not exactly.
Missing lock from case. Latch on front of machine torn out of base. Bobbin winder hold down spring plate (not sure of its official name but it presses on the thread as the bobbin winds, presumably to keep thread tension) broken off. I have the mechanism but the casting broke where it is attached with a pin. Doesn't affect sewing and might not affect bobbin winding. Haven't tried yet.
Did a little cleaning and oiling and it spins very smoothly. Looking forward to sewing something on this.
