G1 Casige 2
The most desirable of all the toys from this famous German maker, this machine has near-perfect decals and there's not a touch of rust to be seen anywhere. Please note that a couple of these have surfaced during the past year, both with badly repaired rear castings. This machine is totally original, no repairs - just like the way it came out of the factory. The Casige 2 was introduced in 1910 and had a very limited production run. Whilst many of the Casige models had varients produced by the Carl Sieper factory, there was only model of the cast-iron No.2. Glenda Thomas 2-55.
SOLD

G2 Casige 13/1
Here's a rare Casige - a combination of a cast-iron top and a sheet steel base in excellent condition. The decals are exceptionally good both on the head and the base. To get really picky half a petal is missing from one of the flowers on the back face - it won't even show in the pictures. The Model 13 was introduced in 1930 and is a variant of the No.3 machine produced earlier. Glenda Thomas 2-62.
SOLD

G3 Casige 50
Glenda Thomas calls this machine tall and majestic and who am I to argue? Decals are good here but there are some very small paint chips, particularly on the top arm - you might see these in the detail photographs. This 1920s up-market model has an all-enclosed mechanism. Glenda Thomas 2-96A. Price: $160 including insurance and air-mail shipping.

G4 Casige fairytale
The ever-popular Casige 50 series with depictions of famous fairy tales. This time we have Cinderella feeding the birds (just why Cinderella was feeding the birds is beyond me). This machine is in exceptional condition with bright glossy black paintwork and all-important complete decals. It's a nice complete kit with its original clamp and box. Glenda Thomas 2-111.
SOLD

G5 Muller 19
The flagship machine of the mighty Muller range, this Model 19 is as good as they come. The better they are the less there is to say so for the person needing a super-bright, super-clean, machine look no further. Glenda Thomas 1-307.
SOLD

G6 Muller 1A
The earliest German toy available, this first model of the Muller 1 certainly isn't the easiest machine to use - would you believe that the work feeds towards to you as you sew - fed by the presser foot rather than from under the stitch plate as on later models. The 1A can be identified quite quickly in that the presser-foot lifter is at the front of the machine rather than the rear. A really first-class example built on the 1880s Muller patent. This one comes with its original box - there is some damage but that great box lid graphic is in fine shape. Glenda Thomas 1-293.
SOLD

G8 Muller 8, red
I've never been sure whether the cracknel finish on so many of these machines was a design feature or a result of being exposed to the sun. However, close examination of this machine reveals that although the paint has the attractive crazed look, the decals do not, suggesting that the paint was originally formulated to produce the cracknel effect and the decals applied when it had dried. Coloured Muller models are getting harder and harder to find. Glenda Thomas 1-300 (machine shown is black).
SOLD

G9 Casige 5/1
This is the first of the Casige Model 5 machines being introduced in around 1912. Decals are fine and there's a little foxing on the bright metal parts. It's not a super-bright machine but it's complete and would be an asset to any Casige collection. Glenda Thomas 2-84
SOLD

G10 Bing
Perhaps the most famous toy maker in Germany, Bing, produced this innovative chain-driven machine as its attempt to enter the TSM market. This example is bright and shiny and has great decals with just the slightest thinning in places. A big plus here, the machine comes with its original bright yellow box including the original interior packing. Box is a little dogeared but it's done its job in protecting the machine from the ravages of time. We've even got the original clamp. Glenda Thomas 1-13. Price: $600 including insurance and surface-mail shipping.

G11 Casige 3/1
This is the earlier version of G2 above and is the very earliest of the type having the outrigger gears. This model was introduced in 1904 and was later superceded by the 3/2 with internal gearing for the hand wheel. This is a nice clean example with good paint, bright decals and the original finish on the stitch plate. There's just a little surface loss on the wheel rim but minimum foxing. In all a fine example of this early all-cast-iron machine. Glenda Thomas 2-60.
SOLD

G12 Casige 125
A post WW2 machine from the Casige stable. On the shelf this big colourful tin plate machine will look great but close up there is some raised bubbling on the horizontal section of the base - the paint is still there but I wouldn't go digging at it with a fingernail. The box has a Shirley Temple lookalike picture but the carton, whilst better than no box at all, is the worse for wear. Glenda Thomas 2-113. Price: $120 including insurance and airmail shipping.

G13 Casige Fairytale
This time the character is Little Red Riding Hood complete with wolf that, quite honestly, doesn't look like anyone's grandmother. Decals are sensational on this machine both on its front and rear and even on the four corners on the base where they are normally very vulnerable. A little foxing on the head cover and stitch plate and some small areas of paint loss on the head. Glenda Thomas 2-107.
SOLD

G14 Casige 41
Probably looks worse in the pictures than it actually is, but there is considerable paint loss at the clamp area. Paint is less than gleaming but the decals are fine. Glenda Thomas 1-25 (but our example is in far better condition) Price: $110 including insurance and airmail shipping.

Correction -- this is a Casige 0, not a 41. Thanks to RK for pointing out the error.

G16 Muller 0
Now I'm guessing a little here but I believe this is the last incarnation of the Muller 0 by the German company. And what's more this one really is unused. It comes in its mint original box, has its interior packing, clamp, instruction leaflet and even the original sample fabric under the presser foot. OK, it's not the oldest machine on offer but it is the only one that's like the day it came after the factory. Glenda Thomas 2-733.
SOLD

G17 Muller 1B:
Just how long children were expected to put up with the Muller 1A with its odd-ball sewing action I'm not sure but it can't have been long before this quaint design was superseded by the second version, the 1B. This example has totally complete decals and great paintwork even in the dreaded clamp area. It comes with the original cardboard box with "No.1" stamped on its base. Glenda Thomas 1-293.
SOLD

G18 Muller 25
Let me give you the good news first - you can see the bad news in the pictures. What we have here is the super-rare Muller 25 - the only lock-stitch machine made by this famous toy company. There's more good news, the machine is totally complete, even down to its original miniature shuttle and bobbin. More good news - it's not frozen and the mechanism works easily and smoothly. OK, OK. The bad news. The once bright parts are now rusty and the decals on the actual base of the machine itself are long gone. I passed this machine over to GF for an expert assessment of its potential. He reported back that whilst the decals and paint on the skirting would be vastly improved with detailed cleaning, those on the head itself were long gone. Most of the rust is surface oxydization only and would clean with some considerable work. So all is not lost and if you wish to add a unique model of Muller to your collection this may be the only chance you'll ever get. Glenda Thomas 1-310.
SOLD

G19 Pfaff
A fine-condition toy from one of Germany's earliest manufacturers. Apart from a couple of small paint chips, the grey finish is perfect. There are few free-arm TSMs and, despite the switch at the front of this one, it's designed only for a battery powered light, the machine is pure hand crank. It comes in its original fun carry case - this could do with a clean. The zip works well but there is a one-inch tear. Glenda Thomas 1-330.
SOLD

G20 Muller Regina
Having just said that there are few toy free-arms, we immediately move onto another one. This time it's the Muller Regina from the 1950s. There's one scratch on the front of the free-arm section but otherwise the paint is good and the decal is complete. The "Berlin "Made in Germany US zone"stamped into the stitch plate suggests that the machine was made immediately post-WW2. Glenda Thomas 1-311. Price: $140 including insurance and surface-mail shipping.
