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. Price: $400 including insurance and surface-mail
shipping.
